We need some diversity in board designs, to make things attractive. Il
you pass a level and get a nice tiger stretching on its back, 4 legs up,
it's better than getting only a smiling flower. Of course, boards must
not lose too much on readability.

Yes, we've got many opportunities there. The best thing to do would be
to keep a constant gcompris look and feel plus nice pictures. I don't
know exactly how till now.

I think animal pictures should replace the actual paintings, which are a
bit too 'adult' and 'dark' for children.
