replacement for screem

[David Van Assche]

yeah, those are my thoughts and experiences as well. Teaching kompozer
is far easier and more logical taking web design as a full subject
comprised of both programming and design. At a younger age, its
doubtful they'd be playing with php/perl/ruby/whatever. The other
option is wine+dreamweaver, but that's a proprietary solution (albeit
the best one.)

Taking this a bit further, here's a list of other apps that I think
might have a future in edubuntu. (Be it by means of MIR or getting
edubuntu to accept universe apps.) It by no means they should be
included, I just wanted to open a discussion about them. Feel free to
add to them:

Squeak
Blender
Bluefish
Stopmotion
Celestia
Gnu Solfege - Music training
kgeography - already in main
klettres - already in main
Linux Letters and Numbers
Stellarium
Freeciv
gbrainy
pyscrabble
salasaga - create e learning objects, output flash...
pdfeditor
kivio
Labyrinth - Mind map
Audacity
Jokosher

kind Regards,
David Van Assche
