Re: [school-discuss] 2 New Edu Apps

[bruno <bruno.coudoin@free.fr>]

David, thanks for your support. 

On the gcompris side, if you want to add something on the new page, you
can say that I will be at the Fosdem in bruxelle the 8 and 9 February. 

On the development side, I released a 2.0 version that is a port to
gnome 2 with all the advantages that brings: 
- a complete UTF-8 support, 
- better fonts display and support for alpha blending in PNG images in
the canvas. 

Of course the list of activities continues to grow : 
New board in the puzzle boards menu : traffic board based on the GPL
code from Geoff Reedy 
New board in the algebra menu: A money counting activity based on real
Euro coins and papers. 

Of course, as usually, anybody is welcome to come help gcompris, improve
the graphics, sounds, code activities, maintain the web site, promote it
and Linux in education, ... do the washing up ;) 

Bruno.
