Bug#675006: ITP: storymaps - Story planning and writing application for children
Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist
Name: storymaps
Version: any

Description: Free story planning and writing application for children
StoryMaps is a graphical story planning and writing application for
children that breaks down the elements of traditional fairy tales into
building blocks, following Vladimir Propp's plot functions.
.
With StoryMaps children can easily create their own stories:
selecting the plot cards with the story cards, creating a story map
and writting their own story using a text editor. Once finished, the
application can be used to export the story into HTML format.
I am interested in packaging this Java application and already have
preliminary packages (very draft form) available at
http://people.debian.org/~jfs/storymaps/
I'm in conversation with the author in order to get his program into
Debian. Before packaging, the following things have to occur:
- License has to be clarified: a general license file is missing as
well as license headers in source code files
- Associated Java libraries have to be packaged too, this includes:
+ Piccolo, http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d/, which
would solve RFP #579093
+ FreMarker, http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/
Both of these libraries are free software (new BSD and LGPL
respectively) so packaging them should not be an issue.
Regards
Javier
