DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to provide a web-based resource for the use and development of open-source science education software. This web site will include a comprehensive repository of software, resources for educators who wish to use the software, resources for new developers and developers new to science education, and community-building components to foster collaboration between educators and developers. Open-source software is free or inexpensive as a rule, and the development model is collaborative, rather than proprietary. Open-source software has become a very viable business model, and some of the most successful and fastest growing software is open-source (such as the Linux operating system, and the Apache web server). If successful, this project will dramatically increase the quality and availability of science education software over the next few years. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: To construct an internet portal for inexpensive and open-source science education software that will be sustained by banner advertising, fee-based services and possible CD-ROM distribution of software and educational resources.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的目标是提供一个 利用和发展开放源码科学教育的网络资源 软件该网站将包括一个全面的软件库， 为希望使用该软件的教育工作者提供的资源， 开发人员和开发人员新的科学教育，和社区建设 组件，以促进教育工作者和开发人员之间的合作。 开源软件通常是免费或廉价的， 模型是协作的，而不是专有的。开源软件有 成为一个非常可行的商业模式，一些最成功的， 增长最快的软件是开放源代码（例如Linux操作系统， Apache Web服务器）。如果成功，这个项目将大大 提高科学教育软件的质量和可用性， 未来几年 拟定商业应用： 为廉价和开放源码的科学教育建立一个互联网门户网站 软件将通过横幅广告，收费服务和可能的 分发光盘软件和教育资源。
