Good afternoon,

I've updated the Wikipedia article (in french) with the information in this
newsletter :-)

Have fun,

Xavier

> Hello!
>
> If you don't have our release schedule in mind, I recall that our next two
> releases are the following:
>
> * the development version 2011-11, due to late November
> * the second Gondwana update 1.2, due to mid January
>
> Gondwana 1.2 will be mainly a language update, just as 1.1 was. We may
> include fixes and new (small) tools depending on development progress. As
> not all our translator contributors have registered our lists, it would be
> nice if some of us take the necessary time to send messages on Transifex
> internal messaging in order to inform the whole translation team about
> Gondwana 1.2 [1] (yes I mean one message per contributor, this is why it is
> better if we are several people to do the job).
>
> I've just rearranged the development version schedule [2] to reach what
> seems possible to do, supposing that more contributors help the project for
> its development version too ;).

> [2] http://team.doudoulinux.org/projects/doudoulinux-cd/issues/gantt
>
> And then everybody's eyes open wide: “I definitively can't program, how
> could I help the development version?” :p
>
> Well, I'm not sectarian, there are many other possibilities to make this
> version way better than the previous one 2011-08:
>
> * Provide an augmented SVG library for TBO [1]
>  Your role is to find collections of astonishing SVG draws on Open Clip Art
> Library in order to widen the possibilities of TBO for drawing comics.
>
> * Search for existing literature [2]
>  I'm looking for texts targeting children in various languages and, of
> course, with compliant licenses. I came across gutenberg.org and invite
> you to start by searching this website for such texts (see the sub-ticket of
> this ticket :) ).
>
> * Ship small illustrated stories on CD then website [3]
>  Kind of extent of the idea above: once we have short stories, why not
> beautifying them? You need to draw or be able to find nice drawings, with
> compliant licenses :).
>
> * Teaching children programming [4]
>  Four new applications have been installed for this purpose in 2011-08. We
> now need to test them and decide which ones are the easiest to understand
> and use. Why not giving them a try?
>
> * Search for existing MIDI files with compliant licenses [5]
>  Your role is to find collections of pleasant MIDI music files, with
> compliant licenses – still. Beware that both the music author and performer
> must be taken into account for copyrights. Children songs or traditional
> songs highly welcomed of course!
>
> * Update website for 2011-11 [6]
>  Although our website should not be adapted weeks before a release is out,
> some tasks can be planned and some other ones, like making videos, already
> started.
>
> * My first blog [7]
>  I need some people to install and test several wiki/blog engines and
> evaluate their ease of use, in order to make the first children (local) blog
> engine. I still don't know whether we need to write one by ourself or can
> simply derive an existing one.

> Note that the latest, #7, is not for 2011-11! But I need people to help
> decide what we do for this important new feature. There are also tasks about
