Well, I hope that Debian Junior will return to provide more than
links to homepages of nice games. So I edited the task files
according to my poor knowledge and the result can be seen at
http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/junior/tasks/arcade.html
http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/junior/tasks/puzzle.html
The full diff I did is attached below - please ask if something
remains unclear here!!!
Please review these pages (and the other Debian Jr related
pages). I would really love to see Debian Jr become more living
and I would happily give technical help to connect to the Blends
effort. Please tell me explicitely whether you like this support
or not. I will not continue to take over the work to edit the
tasks files for a long time because I feel incompetent regarding
the content. So please be more verbose about the current status
and what you plan to do in this regard. I promised to help but
this help was not asked for more than half a year. :-(
Kind regards
Andreas.
Here comes the diff which implements the things I mentioned above.
