[Parley-devel] Test Images

[Frederik Gladhorn]

Hi Sabine,

the thing that would interest us most currently is if you find the new 
graphical parts of the practice appealing and if it works for you.

The crash in Multiple Choice would be interesting, did you get a backtrace in 
the crash reporter? I tried to include debug packages for Parley, so hopefully 
this just works.
Please try to save it if it happens again, since that is what we are looking 
to fix.
The editing of vocabulary was changed very little in comparison to current 
versions.

Creating the CD is not that difficult once you get the hang of it, adding files 
to it is also quite possible, so this is maybe something interesting. I would 
suggest using USB sticks instead of CDs, since they can save progress instead 
of being read only. In fact there was a vendor for notebooks for schools that 
would use linux live systems on usb sticks to allow each child to use any 
notebook as their own by just plugging in the usb stick. I don't remember the 
name of the project, nor do I know if it actually got put into practice or was 
just a presentation of the idea.

Cheers
Frederik
