Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Further clarifications about maintainance (was: Tuxmath maintainance?)

[Holger L. <ho...@la...>]

Hi,

no, this is a *bad* plan, sorry.

why: because it focusses on tuxmath only, but we should solve this for
the bigger tux4kids project.

that said… please read Bastiens list again:

I very very much applaud and thank Bastien for this initiative but I
*cannot* agree on it. Please include tuxtype and tuxpaint in it, and
quite very probably *more* tux4kids projects. 

And, (long term) we need to come up with some rules / practices to
define what tux4kids is.

And yes, probably we should have one mailing list (only). But this list
then *must not* have "tuxmath" in it's name…!

Again: Bastien, thanks a lot for driving this! Much appreciated. I'm
looking forward for a modified plan! ;-)
