Well, there's not a whole lot to tell. A teacher at the school came to me (I was the technology coordinator for the district at the time) and she said that the kids wanted to have a yearbook class like the one present at the standard high school. Of course there was no funding for it. I set them up with Inkscape (running both on Windows on the few standard PC's they had and the Linux thin clients that drove the primary computer lab) and Tav's book, gave them a couple into lessons, and off they went. A semester later they published a yearbook, I believe the first one the alternative HS had ever done. It was small, maybe 20 pages. In my opinion though it looked just as good, if not better than, the one turned out by the students at the standard HS, without all the templates and support provided by the yearbook publisher! All because of Inkscape and Tav's book.

That is absolutely fantastic. A real testament to the value of Tav's book and Inkscape.
