Hi,
We are a bunch of fedora contributor and packagers who are working to
build a "Fedora for Kids" spin. You can see the progress of the same
at [1].
It would be really nice if someone can provide or help us to build
some docs/tutorials for kids or newbies which we can include with the
spin. Since the target for this is kids, the doc should be really easy
to understand and eye catching. (maybe something like "when you see a
beetle (bug) on your screen then you should capture (file) it").
adding some animations to it would be a plus.

Hi,
This sounds like a really interesting project. I would be willing to help
with working on some documentation for this.
Cheers!

My Employer has expressed some interest in paying for my time on
something like this, but I've got some reservations.
As a parent and an avid education enthusiast, I can't help but to
notice the apps to be included don't target the age ranges of kids
you're talking about. Ages 8-15 only has a small overlap in GCompris,
the rest of the apps are geared towards early learning environments,
pre-K (4-5 years).
Have you seen Uberstudent? http://uberstudent.org/
It's one of the first distributions I've seen that actually has a task
focus rather than throwing every "educational" title in the mix.
Just some thoughts and questions..

Hi Mike,
As a parent and an avid education enthusiast, I can't help but to
notice the apps to be included don't target the age ranges of
kids
you're talking about. Ages 8-15 only has a small overlap in GCompris,
the rest of the apps are geared towards early learning environments,
pre-K (4-5 years).
I do agree that children in 12+ age group might not find it that useful but
this is the case in Americas and Western Europe. In Asian and African
countries children are still fighting to understand computer, linux and
other stuff in a better way. In these countries access to a computer or
other teaching aids is very limited. We have to keep that in mind too.
Though adding some applications for our American and European friends is
also a requirement. We need to balance it out some how and your help is
highly appreciated.
Have you seen Uberstudent? http://uberstudent.org/
I just saw its screenshots and slide show and I am really impressed. It can
help us to mark some more apps to package and UI layout. Thanks for the tip
:)

I think this would be a great idea. Perhaps the Art team could assist
with graphics so the documentation output would be more fun to look
at.
Perhaps different documentation for different age groups?>
