I agree. ...but also, we'd really want to have a usable tool widely available for educational use _now_ rather than whenever you/we succeed in refactoring the code for a more general scope. So I propose the following: 1. Add GoLearn! to Debian 2. Refactor GoPlay into a skinnable GoGo! tool 4. Add GoGo! to Debian, replacing both GoPlay! and GoLearn!

Coding itself, once you have >clear ideas about what you want to do, is quite straightforward. I am willing to try. I worry about the amount of time it could consume for me. My brain seems to stall on new challenges sometimes... But let's give it a try. :-) How do you work together? I mean, how do _we_ work together? :-) Personally I am used to CVS and Subversion, but have recently grown fond of Git. And for packaging I am a big fan of CDBS (but aware of the recent concerns raised by Joey Hess recently in a blog entry - and have ideas for even better tools in the long run, but that's probably a separate discussion). - Jonas - -- Jonas Smedegaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.jones.dk/~jonas/ IT-guide dr.
