TuxType and TuxMath

[Richard Weideman]

This mail is re-sent on behalf of David Bruce.

Hi,
        
        For the last year or two I have been the main person developing
        two of the tux4kids apps, "Tux Typing" and"Tux, Of Math
        Command".  I want everyone involved with Edubuntu to know that
        the projects are alive and receiving ongoing development.  The
        website, such as it is, is at Alioth:
        
        http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org.
        
        The code for both apps is in svn at:
        
        http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/tux4kids 
        svn://svn.debian.org/tux4kids 
        
        There are current *tar.gz files at the alioth site under
        "Released Files", as well as Mac and Win32 binaries.  I also
        have the current tuxmath files up at the SF.net tuxmath page.
        
        Tuxmath, in particular, has been greatly improved since the
        version in ubuntu.  
        Hopefully there will be current packages in Debian Sid
        reasonably soon - they are held up by the dependency on the
        Andika font, which is not yet in Sid.
        
        In the meanwhile, feel free to check out the new versions
        (installable with ./configure; make; sudo make install) and make
        them available to any kids that may benefit from them.
        
        Cheers,
        
        (realize that this may be a little off-topic)
