Sorry, you don't get my point, I don't think GCompris does the job, there
are very specific requirements in this project that makes all we did mostly
irrelevant under Sugar. We need first to define the requirements of this
project, how do we want to develop, distribute and manage all these activities,
maybe some code can be reused from project A or B but it doesn't matter until
we know what we are building there.
