Hey Alexander,
could you give some insights into the differences to our existing KDE Edu
projects like KAlgebra [1] and Cantor [2] (including Cantor's backends)? I
would like to understand where the differences between them and PhyxCalc are,
especially
* where PhyxCalc goes beyond their features and
* where the benefit of a stand-alone extension lies compared to extending our
existing applications.
IMO it would help much to understand your application better by understanding
the differences to the applications we already ship. Maybe there is even a
possible collaboration hidden that could be started :)
Greetings,
Andreas
