We need a workflow for bringing in documents in many formats and putting them into whatever other formats our teachers, students, and other users need. This means separating text, graphics, and presentation, and recombining them in various ways. (There are Free Software tools to do this.) It means selecting Free Software tools that can, for example, create freeform PDFs, not just documents with fixed page sizes (and especially not just portrait layout, which is particularly unsuited to computer display).

We also want to be able to generate documents on demand from information in databases.
Various organizations such as [http://www.tldp.org/ The Linux Documentation Project] have significant workflows worked out and available for others to use.
