I'd like to know what people think about commercial edsoft at 5-11yrs old
for Linux. This is bound to crop up in the interview since it's my real job
when I'm not doing free stuff.

Topologika appeared on this list a while ago but I didn't see many people
suggesting which of their apps. might be useful in their classrooms. Is
this because there's a lack of teachers/parents here for that age level or
are we just against commercial apps? I'd be interested in porting Mathsbook
if people might want it.
