Forgot to mention in the last mail that perhaps one of the important things about seul-edu
is that if programmers get involved in developing edsoft it can only benefit the overall
usability of Linux for adults too.

I see generally that programmers out there are trying to make software that just gets more
and more complicated - more and more features. Lots of ftp packages for example loaded with
this feature and that feature. If good edsoft from us was seen by them perhaps people'd
remember that sometimes software's supposed to be simple and (re-)learn how to make it so.
