Robert,

There's no need to thank me on that, I want an easy way to teach c++
to students for a long time too. :)
Since I'm also a programmer of a 'learn-how-to-program' ( together
with Andreas and Wagner, well... actually Andreas is doing so much
more than me right now. =p ). what do you think of a Skype meeting
while I try to use your app to do stuff?  - Me ( and whoever from
kde-edu that wanna join ) and WetFeet team?
