You help proposal is welcome. As you can see audio can be very improved
in gcompris. I have no experience in this field and since we focus on
international, audio is hard to maintain. It must remain optional also
because in classroom, they tend to avoid it.
That said, I am open to any proposal that would enhance gcompris audio
experience.
Please, register on the gcompris-devel mailing list that I copy here to
share your ideas.

For the web site, we are going to change it soon by using another
technology (glastnost) which will make it easy for anybody to maintain
gcompris pages or a locale section. At that point, you should be able to
maintain the english section.

Won't it be a problem for your position in your company if they see that
you work/support a free competitor of their offerings? Please, take care
of that.

Bruno.
