[gcompris-devel] Animations and story leading to Game Play?

[Chara Syr]

Hi,
I'm a computer science student and i would like to volunteer in GCompris.
I'm intrested in testing your software or developing new activities. Please
let me know if you would be ok with me helping and if you could suggest me
something specific to work on. Apart from developing, I can also contribute
to translating in my native language(greek).

With regards, Chara
