Anything regarding games for kids is welcome on this list. Don't worry and just
send out the ideas ! What you think might be irrelevant could be picked up by
somebody else as a great idea !


I would like to mention that the people at SEUL/edu have started a dozen mailing
lists on different subject to promote educational software, such as math,
documentation, advocacy and also edutatinement. That particular list has for goal
to create some educational and entertaining programs.
Since we do not want to duplicate our efforts, maybe we might to think about
merging kidsgames into the SEUL list. What do people here think ?
