[school-discuss] New Tuxpaint Slax Module

[Shane Coyle <shane@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Among other things this weekend, I have gotten the time to create a new module 
for Slax/EDU-Nix based on the new Tuxpaint 0.9.16 ( 
http://www.tuxpaint.org ).  I was unable to get that done before version 2 
went final, but I know some folks are clamoring for it- the tux4kids/newbreed 
software products are very popular in the primary school crowd.

I also have been populating the EDU-Nix SlaxCenter ( 
http://www.edu-nix.org/slaxcenter/ ) with some more of the modules that I 
have generated over the last development cycle, including the ones that 
didn't make the final release of Version II.  

I have in the works some tutorials on remastering your own version of the CD 
(on Windows no less, had to borrow my friend's laptop to do screenshots) and 
creating your own modules from source code or Slackware packages.

I also have uploaded the Tuxpaint and the other new modules to the Slax 
Modules page ( http://www.slax.org/modules.php ), so that the broader Slax 
community can also take advantage of these programs. (Tuxpaint, GCompris and 
Childsplay are all under Education Category)

A few other programs and websites have been brought to my attention as well, I 
will be checking those out and creating links or modules as necessary.  At 
this point, I am anticipating about a month or so of website 
maintenance/updates and modules creation, then will begin planning and 
development on the next EDU-Nix CD, the theme is "Militantly Cross-Platform", 
with a hopeful January or early February release.

Thank you everyone for the feedback and support, so far Version II is a wild 
success.  Any ideas or suggestions for the next CD are always welcome - from 
software to include, to theme or graphics, to a catchy release name for the 
next CD.

Thank You.


Regards,
Shane
