[Tux4kids-discuss] TuxPaint Ideas

[Ioana Culic]

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I would like to contribute to Tux's Turtle,
especially if you think of writing it for mobile platforms too, as this is
the area I have the most experience in.

Could I submit a proposal for the GSoC program regarding writing Tux's
Turtle for Android or iOS, or I should stick to the projects that are
already released?

If the second choice is better, do you think that writing the Tux Paint for
Android is a good proposal? This would also involve implementing the new
features you mentioned.

Ioana
