Well, first we need to know what our specific needs are, before we can discuss 
it in a greater forum. So please understand this as a SIG preparing some 
discussion paper. We are not trying to undermine KDE's standards in the first 
place.

Still you need to understand, that children have very special needs which 
cannot be met by changing fonts alone. Esp. the picture and multimedia stuff 
is a difficult task. We basically trying to define these needs. Ideally we 
also would have this discussion with teachers, psychologist etc. who know 
more about the needs of children. BTW, the same holds for accessability 
projects. 

Who knows - maybe all this leeds to the implementation of an own style and 
some themes... but before we don't know the look&feel we want, we cannot talk 
about the technical part. You probably can help us later with the technical 
stuff then. It would be great to have more help there :-)

Greetings,
eva
