KTimes is aimed to help kids learn multiplication tables and Michael's idea 
is
more a game to help develop quick mental calculations with the 4 operations.

This is again the same debate we already had about having one global 
application or
several small apps more focused on one aspect of learning (one all-language 
app against
KVerbos, KNOrskVerbs, KLettres...)
From the feedback I get about my apps (KTimes, KLettres,...) I am for 
developing small focused
apps until a unification is possible and is requested by the users. It is 
possible
that KTimes will not integrate KDE-Edu if people feel it's best to have 
global apps.

I know that Debian released Debian Education in France and that project is 
happy to integrate
all working edu applications, small or big. If you take KLettres, I 
developed it for
my daughter so it answers an educational purpose. The fact that it has been 
ported in 2
other languages says that it also helps kids in other countries too. This is 
enough for me to
qualify as edu app. If it does not fit in KDE-Edu, then it'll fit in Debian 
Edu and other similar
projects.

Anyway, at the moment KTimes is not in KDE3 version so there is no problem 
for Michael
to start his project. When I restart KTimes, I'll see what to do with it.
I don't have too much time at the moment but I would be happy to help 
Michael in any way.
