Yes. It is coming along nicely. I like the What Now?(4) section. It
encourages participation in the project.

I think this will sound better if more detailed information is given in
the Introduction(1) - the introduction could be extended a little. You
could point out that in addition to the many games included with
debian-junior, there are system tools such as midnight commander,
xcruise (helps to visualize the filesystem), and lavaps - the process
and resource-use visualizing app. Also you could mention that there are
internet tools, math learning programs, a desktop, and sound and writing
skills apps. Then saying, "...you are probably dying to get it
installed...", in the Getting Started(3) section will sound better I
reckon.
Is the "hello" package included with debian-junior, by the way? Should
it perhaps be included?
Kind regards,
Anthony Rowe
