Bug#443904: ITP: jugglemaster -- graphical siteswap simulator



Hi,

(I was a bit busy recently, so my response is a bit delayed.)

Thanks for your feedback.

To be honest I took this description mostly from the upstream website,
because I thought they would be best at describing their own software.
Would you like to comment on this suggestion for the first break?

 JuggleMaster is a siteswap animator. A siteswap is a textual
 representation for patterns one can juggle (using balls, clubs, etc.).
 It is mainly useful for understanding specific siteswaps by animating
 them (including multiplexing). Other uses may include watching patterns
 without understanding the notation behind.

For those who install the package without knowing what a siteswap is I
have included a url with further information on the notion in every
manpage.

If you would like to sponsor this package or know a sponsor, please let
me know.

Helmut
