Timetable Generator in debian?
I am developing a timetable generator for schools, and in the future I want to add it to debian. To compare it with another software in debian I looked for another timetable generator in debian, but I don't find another one! In which moment I have to begin to search a mentor? The application now is begining to work, but it is very inestable. OT: Does anybody know another timetable generator for schools in debian? -- Miguel Gea Milvaques <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
