<div id="mb_0"><div>Hello Mailing List,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am writing to you because I am a student who wants to write code
for your project for the Google Summer Of Code-project. I hope this is
the best way to write to all (or at least most) of the developers. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I saw your Ideas-List, I felt enthusiastic about working out
the ideas proposed. I mostly liked ideas for TuxType, so i guess I will
focus on this project. I am thinking about doing some minor works on
the other two projects. Do you think this would be possible or do you
prefer one student working on _one_ project?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Until now, I have only read the messages sent in March on your mailing list. I don't really know what you mean by "<strong>Rearrange source</strong>
tree into a more sane state.". Could you explain this? Do you mean
moving the location of the source files into appropriate folders?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What benefit do you think does "Auto-detection of <b>"typeable" characters</b>
via SDL or native OS APIs."? Actually, I don't know why the typeable
characters need to be detected, as the words and therefore the
characters, which are to be typed, seem to be hardcoded depending on
the language setting chosen. Are you thinking about generating random
characters (not real words as in the current game types) which are to
be typed in some additional game type?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The other ideas seem clear to me. I would like to work on _all_
the ideas proposed for TuxType, because none of the ideas themselves
seems adequate for a 3-months-work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am German and therefore have a German keyboard layout. Playing
all the games you are developing, I noticed that I have press to press
the key to the right of the "0"-key to get the minus sign. On my
keyboard, there is a special German character and the key is labeled
"ß". I guess this is due to the different keyboard layouts. I would
therefore propose dealing wih this bug(?) as another idea for TuxMath.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Greetings,</div>
