Hi,

On the GCompris side we are pleased to hear that. It is true that it is
easier to maintain an activity in GCompris than a separate application.

We already have a 'pair' activity that we call 'memory'. It has many
data sets, images, numbers, maths, and others and we have an 'AI' mode
to play against Tux. Some 'pair' level could be easily ported to GCompris.

The user interface is different as we do not have a 'pair' menu entry.
We have sections and in each one there maybe an appropriate 'pair'
activity.  I hope this is not an issue.

Bruno.
