Re: First day of school -- Debian Jr. wishlist
I'm taking a quick pass thru my "first day of school wishlist" to

This is still languishing in Woody at 0.1.7. Any takers?

I'm trying to resolve an issue with the upstream maintainer. It seems
that glogo provides its own modified version of ucblogo. I would like to
see the changes to ucblogo put back into upstream so I can just make glogo
depend on the Debian glogo package.

AFAIK, the above three are still "up for grabs". Since I can't start on
glogo right away and I have nothing else on my plate for Debian Jr., I
may take one of these if nobody else does.

Jimmy O'Regan is working on this and working his way thru the new
maintainer process at the same time.

Typist has been uploaded.

License issues with ldraw have not yet been resolved.
