TuxType and TuxMath

[David Bruce]

Hi,

For the last year or two I have been the main person developing two of the 
tux4kids apps, "Tux Typing" and"Tux, Of Math Command".  I want everyone 
involved with Edubuntu to know that the projects are alive and receiving 
ongoing development.  The website, such as it is, is at Alioth:

http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org.

The code for both apps is in svn at:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/tux4kids 
svn://svn.debian.org/tux4kids 

There are current *tar.gz files at the alioth site under "Released Files", as 
well as Mac and Win32 binaries.  I also have the current tuxmath files up at 
the SF.net tuxmath page.

Tuxmath, in particular, has been greatly improved since the version in ubuntu.  
Hopefully there will be current packages in Debian Sid reasonably soon - they 
are held up by the dependency on the Andika font, which is not yet in Sid.

In the meanwhile, feel free to check out the new versions (installable 
with ./configure; make; sudo make install) and make them available to any 
kids that may benefit from them.

Cheers,

(realize that this may be a little off-topic)
