</div>Well, I find it *interesting*, to be sure, but I don't know about it<br>
being a good fit for GSoC. We aren't exactly a "large team" of C<br>
coders that could recruit a "small team" of Java guys/gals to maintain<br>
the rewrite. At least 95% of the code in tuxmath was written by only<br>
five people (two of them being last year's GSoC students).<br>
<br>
Anyone else care to comment? The proposal is to rewrite tuxmath<br>
completely in Java, AFAICT to allow it to be run via a web browser.<br>
<br>
