I think ~complete translations for most languages
should be a prerequisite for a 1.0 release.

Heh, thus guaranteeing 1.0 will never happen. ;^)

Just some ideas:

Pre 1.0    An eraser (undoable) for the full draw, maybe with special
effects.

Pre and/or post 1.0   More stamp controls (rotation, brightness, hue,
saturation, reset to original values...)

Pre or post 1.0    Enhance stamps presentation in order to show very
similar stamps in a more compact way.

Say we have four stamps for a letter in alphabets (filled-oulined
Caps-lower) or six apples or eight european coins etc. Consider to popup
a chooser for those who are closer enouth but can't go on a separate
holder or instead implement a solution like stickers do.

Copy/pasted from http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/stickers/:

"The stickers across the bottom come in related sets. If you click on an
unselected sticker, it will become the selected sticker and you can then
paste it into your scene. If you then click on the selected sticker, it
will change to the next sticker in the set."

Post-1.0  Change stamps handling to assetml like childsplay or gcompris
do, allowing other apps to easy use our stamps or images. And allowing
tuxpaint to easy use their images :)
http://www.ofset.org/assetml

Post 1.0  Think on a way to present filesystem to child. May be a draw
of a tree with thumbnails as leafs for open, save or remove draws.

Yours

I would like to handle the alphabet stamps as part of a localised
content pack. We should install a slightly different set of stamps as a
default depending on locale. If your system is set up as es-ES you get
the spanish alphabet by default and stamps of Spanish things. For
bilingual areas you have the choice of adding extra locales.

For example a London primary school would get en_GB by default but could
install extra packs giving Caribbean or Bengali content (or whatever
cultural groups are common in their students).

The default would still be mixed and international in scope but without
needing to download all the extras for all users.

For example - we have a stamp of a US mailbox, we also have a stamp of a
UK postbox. Do we need a stamp of every local equivalent? Yes! - but but
it would quickly become too much in file size and content terms. (Who
would want to plough through 100 stamps of post boxes?)

Localisation isn't just about translation :)

I'm almost beginning to think that an Alphabet or Letters tool may be
called for, though localization of stamp content is an interesting idea, too.

I'm learning this. ;)  (There are certainly MANY places I've gone in
Tux Paint that I did not imagine I'd go way back in 2002... plugins!?!? :) )

I have loads of letter stamps but I notice that you haven't added the
recent ones to CVS (Portuguese/Scandinavian letters etc). I guess I
should give them a break whilst we work out what to do with them (if
anything)..

Yeah, I'm hesitant to cram stuff in there w/o good localization code,
or something, as it'll just clutter things up in there even worse. :)
