Bug#550231: RFP: fisicalab.app -- Educational Physics application for GNUstep



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : fisicalab.app
  Version         : 0.1
  Upstream Author : German A. Arias <german@xelalug.org>
* URL or Web page : http://fisicalab.nongnu.org/
* License         : GPLv3+
  Programming Lang: Objective-C
  Description     : Educational Physics application for GNUstep

FísicaLab is an educational application to solve Physics problems.
There is a predefined pallette with elements (blocks, pulleys,
mobiles, forces), which can be added to a "chalkboard", with
user-defined data.

It currently supports the following kinds of Physics problems::

   * Kinematics of particles (without circular motion)
   * Statics of particles (2D only)
   * Dynamics of particles (2d only, no dynamic or circular motion)


* * *
I can do the initial packaging and maintain it in long term, provided
that knowledgeable people confirm this app would be actually useful in
Debian.  It looks interesting, although I can't judge about the
usefulness properly (my love with Physics was eons ago).  There are
some minor bugs, easily fixable.  Upstream was very active until some
months ago in the GNUstep community, although there were no further
releases.  All classes and variables are in Spanish :-( (no problem
for the end user, only for the Debian maintainer, eventually).
