[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] Response from school staff regarding progress tracking

[Jordan Erickson]

Hi Uwe/everyone,

I have made the changes to my wiki. It's here:
http://logicalnetworking.net/wiki/doku.php?id=tuxtyping

So I'll ping the subject again - Would everyone agree that (given we're
talking about the Linux version for now) keeping separate packages for
progress tracking is a better bet than integrating the functionality
into the core package?

How does everyone feel in general about the goals that are being
presented regarding progress tracking?


Sincerely,
Jordan
