Hello!

First of all: Thanks for your answers and your tips.
I didn't realize that there are separate user- and devel-kde-edu-lists so my 
original mail went to the wrong list.
I introduced the idea of a mathematic-training-program / -game. If you have 
missed my original posting on kde-edu, you can find it here:

I have the same objections as Dominique. I think it would be better if there 
was a common architecture/structure. The program could be "splitted" in a 
children/training-mode and an adult/competition-mode.
Even if the two parts do not exactly the same thing, there are many 
similarities....
Also seen from a "marketing" standpoint, I think it would be better to have 
one "well known" KMathTrainer(?) than two more mini-apps.

I am going to read some KDE-development-docs now and will try to make me 
familiar with KDevelop and all the unix-dev-tools.

Any comments, ideas, suggestions and help are, as always, highly appreciated.

servus,
Michael
