Yes, right.

It's something Pythonish, GTK, Gnomish. Thx Mario PS: No need to CC: me ;-). ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

Re: GCompris for PA
Hi Mario, from the video it does indeed look like GCompris would be a very good addition to the PA portfolio. Whether it should be included by default, however, depends on other things as well, including but not limited to: - Does it fit well in the PA environment (e.g. not relying on notification icons, not using non-Qt/QML widgets)? From the screenshots I've seen this requirement seems to be met. - Are all of its dependencies satisfied on Mer / Plasma Active systems? - Is it something the majority of PA users might want to use? I'm not sure about the last point. For children it sure is awesome, especially on a tablet, so it definitely has to be offered in the^add-ons store. And it surely is nice for demos. Yet still it seems to me that adult users who don't have kids might not need it to be on their tablets... So whether it would be included in the default or not is probably up to those who create the images. Thank you for pointing it out to us!

GCompris for PA
Morning PA crowd Some of you probably know GCompris [1]. It's something like a platform for educational modules (50 and more). From learning simple mouse movement to math and alphabet stuff to chess learning. And it seems to work decently on a tablet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkoa0zPEr4 Should be installed by default on a PA tablet, isn't it? griits Mario [1] http://www.gcompris.net ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active
