The subversion repository is https://svn.tux4kids.net/tuxmath.   The tux4.kids 
site also has a wiki for tuxmath at http://trac.tux4kids.net/tuxmath.  All it 
has is a stub paragraph that I added this morning, including my email address 
for any questions.  This wiki is probably where I should put up information 
about the status of and plans for the project.  I am leaving on vacation 
today for a week.

As far as I know, I am the only one committing changes to the subversion 
repository.  There are two main issues with which I am currently grappling:

1.  I would like to have the program be able to read and write the settings to 
a config file.  I think the writing part should be pretty simple using 
fprintf().  It seems the reading part will involve more work.  As I 
understand it, the process will be:
	- read the config file into a buffer.
	- use lex (actually flex) to convert it to a series of tokens
	- use yacc (bison) to update the settings structs accordingly.
I am starting from scratch as far as learning the above is concerned - any 
advice would be greatly appreciated.

2. I would like to be able to build Tuxmath for Windows due to requests from 
friends and family.  I am at the stage of installing cygwin and SDL libs on 
the one remaining Windows partition in my household.

Hope this helps,
