Involved Projects and Packages
Bluefish is a HTML editor designed for the experienced Web designer. It
is based on Gtk+.

BlueJ offers an extension API that allows third parties to develop extensions
to the environment. Extensions offer additional functionality not included in
the core system.
Brain Workshop is a free open-source Python version of the Dual N-Back mental
exercise. A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
found that a particular memory task, called Dual N-Back, may actually improve
short term memory and fluid intelligence (IQ), previously thought to be
unchangeable. The game involves remembering a sequence of spoken letters and a
sequence of positions of a square at the same time. Brain Workshop includes an
optional Triple N-Back mode that introduces differently colored squares as a
third stimulus.
This package contains the file /etc/SuSE-brand, and its name is used as
a trigger for installation of look and feel and branding of packages as
it was defined by openSUSE-Education developers.

branding package, you will lose vendor customization of your
distribution.

These are localized soundfiles used by the childsplay project.
* Numbers: Put the correct operator between two numbers.
* SoundNpic: A toy for young children with pictures and sounds.
* Packid: A pac-man game, try to catch the letters.
* Soundmemory: The classic memory game, with sounds.
* Fallingletters: Type them before they reach the ground.
* Findsound: Listen to a sound and find the image to which it belongs.
* Findsound2: The same as findsound, now with numbers and letters.
* Pong: The classic game, play alone,against the computer or against
another child.
* Billiard: Try to put the balls in the hole.
* MultiTables: Learn the multiplication tables.
* Puzzle: Recreate the image.

ClaSS stands for ClaSS Student System, a complete student
tracking, reporting, and information management system for schools.
ClaSS is a working, useable version of what is to be a complete
classroom information assistant.
You are referred to the ClaSS home-page http://www.laex.org/class/ for
more information and documentation. Please email stj@laex.org with
questions, requests for support, installation help etc. You can also
use the integrated suppoprt forms in the AboutBook to post queries
to the development team from inside ClaSS.
Look at the README in the subdiretory class/install for instructions
to guide you through the installation procedure.
If you already have an install of ClaSS runnning then you'll need to
migrate your database across by applying the appropriate sql-patch
scripts in the install directory (if any are more recent than your
current install).
Please do let stj@laex.org know if you find this software useful (or
not useful!). All feedback is valued and will help speed the
development of ClaSS.
