Hi!
I am teaching assistant in University of Tartu, Estonia. Over last few
years I've developed a nice tool for teaching programming to the
beginners -- Thonny IDE (http://thonny.org).
It is growing in popularity (I'm proud that Raspberry Pi education team
has chosen it to be Raspberry's default Python IDE), but it's not in the
Debian repository yet.
I've prepared the package (https://mentors.debian.net/package/thonny),
but I haven't found the sponsor
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878741).
I'd be really glad if someone from Debian Edu team would sponsor Thonny
and maybe also gave some feedback about how Thonny would fit better into
your vision of an educational computing environment.
best regards,
