[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] tuxtype progress control

[Jordan Erickson]

Hi Uwe! I'm really happy to see you're interested in this.

If you look very shortly back into the mailing list archives (starting
with this post:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/tux4kids-tuxtype-dev/2009-October/000496.html
) you will see what we've discussed so far. IANAP but I can help you out
with what might be needed/wanted for something like this (it would be
more about the specifics of what *kind* of data is collected, but not so
much about the back-end (Im sure we can figure that out on our own ;) )

I'll be asking teachers and existing school technicians what kind of
data they need to be effective in grading students' progress). I will
send an e-mail to them right after I'm done writing this.

Thank you so much for your interest. I would absolutely love to see this
become a reality and for many, many more schools to adopt TuxType (at
least) as a main typing tutor because of this necessity.


Cheers,
Jordan
