[Tuxmath-devel] Marathon finished - plan to get active on tux4kids again

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

For the last few months, much of my available free time has been taken
up by training for the Chicago Marathon, which I ran Sunday as a
fundraiser for the American Liver Foundation.  With that completed, I
want to start getting tuxmath and tuxtype moving again.  When I left
off, I was working on some changes to t4k_common that I thought should
be finished before we start working on a t4k_common-based tuxtype.
Look for some more specific emails and posts about "todo"-type stuff,
and feel free to start putting more ideas out there on these lists.

Over the last few months, I've started to wonder if our existing model
of locally-installed desktop apps is getting left behind.  In the
past, I've not seriously considered suggestions to rewrite our games
as web applications, but maybe we should consider trying to create
such versions.  Also, kids are definitely going to be using a lot of
tablets, and it is at least potentially feasibly to create Android
ports.  Unfortunately, I don't see any way to get GPLv3 apps onto
non-jailbroken iPads given Apple's policies for their App Store.

Nonetheless, I have no intention of abandoning the desktop for our programs.

I would definitely like to see us participate in Google Code-In and
GSoC next year.
