[GCompris-devel] Introduction + GCompris Idea Discussion

[Emmanuel Charruau]

Hi again,

A furthur idea came to me. If we create a third level depth like explained
in my previous email, it would also be good to be able to tag these third
level.
Let's take again our lang activity.
The same set of image could be interesting to teach kids from 6-8 and at
the same time only speaking about nature, we should be able to tag them as
"kids from 6-" and "nature".

Is that a good idea?

Regards,

Emmanuel

>> - Adding new activities server side without reinstalling GCompris (means
