Months ago, I began work on two new Tux4Kids projects:
"Tux Print", a simply program for printing greeting cards and banners,
and "Tux Writer", a word processor for young kids -- both along the lines
of "Tux Paint" (animation, sound effects, big buttons, etc.)
Sadly, I haven't had time to work on either. I begin with Tux Print,
but development ended abruptly when I decided to support SVG graphics,
and couldn't find a library I could easily integrate with SDL and which
would be simple to use across various platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).
I never got around to doing much with Tux Writer, but am willing to talk
about design before the eventual coding begins. :^)
Tux4Kids has a 'tuxwriter-dev' mailing list set up:
http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxwriter-dev
It's never been used so far. Feel free to subscribe and we can begin
chatting on design issues! :^)
