[gcompris-devel] Help for testing trunk

[Bruno Coudoin]

We have a little bit more of one week before the next release. This one
adds a couple of new features. It would be nice to make some testing and
documentation updates before the due date.

The most important new feature came from Miguel, we now let the user
edit missing letter and word list. This was one of the most requested
feature but our users.

The other feature, again by Miguel, will be useful to school
administrators. You need to enable gnet at compilation time to use it.

Now in ~/My GCompris there is a file named content.txt (a md5sum
like file) listing custom files. Simply copy this directory on a web
server let all the GCompris in classroom use a common data set.

GCompris clients are launched with --server and optionally --cache-dir
At startup, client downloads content.txt from the server and then files
will be searched first on the server if they are listed in content.txt.
If found, they are kept in the cache directory to avoid file transfer.

It would be great to complete our wiki with these features.
