Although I agree with you here I do not think that every application that is 
in kdeedu right now fulfills the high quality requirements. But unless we 
find a way to define "high quality" I will not say which ones because I do 
not want a flamewar ;) And I am not talking about only one or two apps...

Sorry, but I do not like that idea. The Extra Gear is not supposed to produce 
any packages of more than one application. If it did it might be in danger of 
becoming a counter-KDE and that is certainly not the intention behind it.
But of course also educational software is more than welcome and it might make 
sense to categorize the software in the Extra Gear when we have reached a 
certain amount of apps. 
With those categories (which will never be released as one package) it might 
make sense to link to them from the the corresponding main module homepage, 
in this case edu. 
Actually I quite like the idea that kdeedu would take care of educational apps 
in the Extra Gear, we could even feel as responsible for the edu apps in the 
Extra Gear as we feel responsible for all apps in kdeedu :-)

Me too, although I prefer the outcome to be even better :)
