<br> <br> Dear gsoc'ers,<br> <br> I sent some of you this email as a welcome to the list when you were<br> subscribed : welcome to the OLPC Summer of Code mailing list! This list is<br> for anything and everything related to Summer of Code at OLPC. Feel free to<br>
ask any questions you have, propose new project ideas, or discuss the<br> relative priority of the proposals on the Summer of Code ideas page.[1]<br> <br> We are currently recruiting mentors; please point potentially interested<br>
people at our SoC overview page : <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code</a><br> <br> We will be accepting student applications through Google's interface for the<br>
duration of next week.<br> <br> Best wishes, and welcome again,<br> SJ Klein<br> <a href="mailto:sj@laptop.org">sj@laptop.org</a><br> +1 617 529 4266<br> <br> [1] As a few people noted in our IRC discussion today, the ideas page should<br>
be shorter and better classified according to interest (among mentors) in<br> the projects there. Please help revise them and sort the unfinished ones to<br> a separate section. (if you are currently working on olpc projects, feel<br>
free to start a separate section for potential projects related to your<br> group's work).<br> <br> <br> </blockquote></div><br>hello everyone,<br><br>I am student from India. I am interested in the olpc's Google Summer of Code idea for a typing tutor named Typing Turtle. I have a simple question. We have already a typing tutor <b><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Typewriter" title="Typewriter">Typewriter</a></b> activity by Aneto. So whether we will be adding support for all new XO builds to Typewriter or will be implementing a new typing tutor named Typing Turtle from the scratch. I think Tuxpaint has olpc XO support now. So if possible, we can add XO support in Tuxtype too. The reason why I am interested in this project is just because I have added Indic language support in Tuxtype and also currently one among the developers of Tuxtype.<br>
So I hope my experience will help to achieve our goal. <br><br><br>thanks<br>mobin<br>
