Hi!

First, one thing: how can i download it? I've not password for the cvs

In addition, i propose 

*(if nobody has ever done it): developping the french part and translating the 
webpages of the project in French

*making others formats for Kvoctrain:rpm, deb : it may be interessant to do 
that for practicals  reasons and for integrating it in some projects like 
Skolelinux ,Edulinux....

*working on the Examination Result Screen

give me your opinion .

best regards

samuel
