Hi,
I've not been tracking this part of KDE for long but am involved with
putting software on school PCs. One thing I have noticed about the interfaces
for many of the KDE apps is that those focused at young children is that the
interfaces do not seem to maintain a reasonably common interface. For many of
the Windows based edu packages I've seen they seem to take over the full
screen, it may also be a good idea to have themes aimed at various levels
(e.g. full screen + big fonts + cartoonish look for pre-7 year olds + a small
number of big buttons, big fonts + cartoonish look for 7-10 year olds,
cartoonish look for 10-12 year olds).
It may be a good idea to pull some ideas together and from that put a
framework together which all relevant KDE edu apps can then use to implement
whatever policies seem appropriate.
