We know, Laila had leaned BASH PHP and Tcl and Python while she
was sleeping... Now she was looking into the GTK+ 2.0 Tutorial
and leaned it in less the 3 days...
What she want is "real" programming under Linux.
Her IQ is around 240% so I think, you know which problem I have.

To give her stuff, I have allready told her this. She find it cool,
to code one source wich can run on 12 architektures. We have found
some documentation about coding stuff portabel but it was nor realy
easy explained..

Hehe... Laila was looking at my tdmnc (Mail & News Client for X,
without the need of GNOME and KDE and with the power of mutt) which I
rewrite currently... I have created (last weekend) a nice GTK+ 2.0
GUI and now I am implementing function by function.
Beginning with the basic functions...
She has allready seen some little results and want to work on this
project too...
They are many functions to implement and all is modular.

Because she live in Morocco (and make regulary hollidays in Iran)
she want to code educativ stuff and such... fribidi/pango plus
UTF-8 is a must for supporting arabic and farsi.

OK, I think I have something to download...
