This does look interesting, but (of course) there are only Mac and Windows
clients for it.  Also, it's clearly intended for collaborative work among
multiple people with the computers as the modes of and means for
collaboration.  That's slightly different than the design of a human to
computer interface where there's only one person invloved, I think.

When I set this list up I hoped that we'd have a higher ratio of talkers to
listeners than most lists manage to, but so far that hope hasn't been
realized.  How about this: why don't each of us post a message to the list
telling about our background, why we're interested in the topic of user
interfaces for children, and what we'd like to see as an eventual outcome of
these discussions?  I'll send my message later today or tomorrow.
Unfortunately, my day job calls at the moment.
