Excuse my ignorance but what list? I also don't currently see it on the list of packages available in F-13 (didn't check as far as the packages in Review though). >> Image/ImageViewer >> Jukebox >> >> To the Fructose list we're adding: >> Physics - Because this is a great demo example (quick demo). >> Record - Because its useful and kids tend to like recording/photoing stuff. >> xoirc - Because this helps us help them. > > Just called IRC these days. > >> paint - K-6 and enjoyed by kids >> memorize - K-6 and enjoyed by kids >> speak - Good for voice demos >> >> So the current planned inclusion list is as follows: >> Browse >> Chat >> EToys >> Log >> Pippy >> Read >> Terminal >> TurtleArt >> Write >> Physics >> Record >> xoirc >> paint >> memorize >> speak >> >> That currently gives us a list of 15 Activities.

I'll double check it with sebastian but there's a pybox2d in Fedora that is maintained by Sebastian so I suspect we're OK in that case. > I can email someone the Physics-5.tar.bz2 if needed?
