PCLOS4Kids
« on: August 15, 2011, 09:37:34 AM »
Anyone interested in assisting me in creating a kids safe version of PCLOS?
Here are my initial thoughts, there hasn't been a kids version that I know of since ver.92 and although there are several kids distros I've dl'd, most lack a lot of polish. IE: some of the games don't work, or are to complicated for me to figure out how to play much less a child...

In searching for kids stuff I have found Open Office for kids, A web browser addon called Zoodle that looks promising if I could get permission to use it in the distro to take over the default browser. And of course all of the standard linux tux games, kde games, gcompris, dansguardian, etc.

Suggestions for DM? I'm shooting for a low resource, kid friendly user interface, maybe "daisy" or some other small dock to limit what can be done by a child's random  clicking everywhere...LOL  Fun tux icons for launching programs...

Any interest? Or have I lost my mind entirely?
