I have packaged up LeoCAD [http://www.leocad.org] for debian. It is a cad program that uses plastic bricks found in many toys (no particular brand :). It uses gtk+ and can export various image formats, html pages of the steps, PovRay files, etc.; it supports animationas well. Very fun for kids (maybe not the very young) well beyond age 99. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in sponsoring this so it will get into the distro. I have a few legal issues to resolve and a few finishing touches, but most of the work is done. The sponsorship page at debian.org looks quite full and my guess is that it takes a long time to get a package sponsored. The author of leocad (Leonardo Zide) suggested trying to go through debian-jr to get leocad into debian quicker, and I thought it was a good idea. I plan on eventually becoming a developer, but I want to make sure I understand everything first, and I understand the registration process takes some time. I apprecite comments and I hope you will be interested. Thank you. -- Pat Mahoney <pat7@gmx.net> Why am no the privacy goodbye. I cannot believe in a anger pretty explosive mixture here.
