Hi Guys I have cloned/moved most of the repos that contains new projects. Repos which are still missing 1. Tuxracing 2. Tux4eng 3. Tux4words: I have already dropped an email to Natalia so that she can transfer ownership to us. I have also roped in Nalin (2013 GSOC student) as a backup maintainer for us. @Pere : It would be great if you can email me code directly so that I can create a new repo for them. ᐧ On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 11:10 PM, Bill Kendrick <nb...@so...> wrote: > > Adding tuxpaint-devel list to the Cc's. > > > On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 09:37:14AM +0200, Bastien Guerry wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Holger Levsen <ho...@la...> writes: > > > > > why: because it focusses on tuxmath only, but we should solve this for > > > the bigger tux4kids project. > > > > Indeed, this was implicit in my previous email but I wasn't clear > > enough and I was not aware of other issues I just discovered. > > > > > I very very much applaud and thank Bastien for this initiative but I > > > *cannot* agree on it.
