What if just a small fraction of the many millions of people + who play games were introduced to what it's like to be a Frugalware + developer? The future of Frugalware would be guaranteed, and that's the + reason behind the development of Frugalware - The Game! In the style of + Little Big Planet, players will progress through the game if they can + successfully package applications. They will have to search for and find the + various dependencies, then submit their FrugalBuild to the buildbot. If they + have been successful, they may gain points, which could allow them to advance + to the next level. Bugs will be represented by real bugs and players will + have to squash them as quickly as they can. If there are too many bugs they + may attack the player, harming their health or possibly killing them. Missing + dependencies or incorrect dependencies will also cost the player health + points. All packages created by a player in a level have to be maintained by + them until they advance to the next level. At each level the packages to be + maintained will become more difficult. I can't reveal what is waiting for the + player when they complete the game, but it's definitely a prize worth + winning!/p + + h3Frugalware exam #2 - strongAnswers/strong/h3 + + pBelow are the answers to the Frugalware exam which featured in newsletter + issue 66.

Re: [Frugalware-git] homepage-ng: 1.3rc1 announce draft
VMiklos, I have looked over the announcement and it looks OK. My only suggestion is that perhaps you could mention that Haven is 1.3's codename? Something like ...the upcoming 1.3 stable release (codename Haven). I would probably make that change myself but I can't easily get git access at work.
