Description: Debian Jr. Art
 Tools for children to produce artwork.  The simplest of these is
 tuxpaint, which is designed for small children.  It features sounds
 and easy to use controls.  For older children, there are gimp and
 xpaint.  While gimp is more complex, and is aimed at  the graphic
 artist, it is not necessarily much harder to use than the older,
 less full-featured xpaint.  Children starting out with just a small
 subset of the functions of these tools eventually pick up quite a
 number of new things as they explore, either with adults or other
 children with whom they share their computers, or on their own.

 of all ages.  Mastering most of these games requires dexterity
 and cognitive skills usually developed only in the older children
 (around ages 5 to 8).  But the youngest children may enjoy watching
 older players, or just poking randomly at the controls, depending
 on the game.

 As children's familiarity and sophistication of use of the Internet develops,
 you will probably want to add more Internet clients to the child's system.

 This metapackage will install educational math programs suitable for

 the abilities of young children (e.g. fractals and cryptography), but
 hopefully using these let them gain an appreciation of the beauty of
 math from an early age.  Other packages allow children to explore and
 learn math concepts in an engaging, interactive way.  Some packages
 are more general, providing math activities as only one part of the
 package, e.g. bsdgames includes "arithmetic" in addition to other
 non-math games, and x11-apps provides xcalc.

Task: junior-programming
Section: debian-junior
Description: Debian Jr. programming
 The emphasis for this sampling of programming packages for children
 is first on simple interpreted languages.  Also important for using
 languages with children are good documentation, and some ability to
 produce visual programs without too much effort.  It is by no means
 a complete list, and you are encouraged to explore other languages
 with children as well; even those that are not specifically aimed for
 children.
 .
 The Logo language is specifically designed for children, with a strong
 emphasis on the visual and concrete.  Littlewizard is an icon-based
 graphical programming language also designed for children.
 .
 Scratch is an easy, interactive, collaborative, visual programming language
 with children from ages 8 and up as their target group.
 .
 Arduino is a popular micro controller that is widely used by both people
 learning electronics and programming as well as seasoned veterans doing
 complex projects. It is necessary to connect a physical Arduino circuit board
 in order to experiment with arduino.

Task: junior-system
Section: debian-junior
Description: Debian Jr. System tools
 This package includes a few tools for helping children learn about and
 use their system.
 .
 Midnight Commander is more than just a file manager.  It is shell with
 which children can explore and manage their own accounts.  It can be a
 great help for the very young, as it saves them some typing (as
 compared with using a command-line shell directly).  It is also packed
 with power and flexibility which can be tapped by older children and
 adults alike.
 .
 The 'hello' sample program can be used as an instructional aid, as
 an example of how to invoke programs from the shell, specify switches,
 use the man page, and so on.
 .
 Baobab, the GNOME disk usage analyzer, enables the user to take a
 visual trip into the hard drive contents. It can be a mesmerizing first
 step, dvelving into the inner parts of the computer system. It serves
 both as an educational tool about file systems and file contents/size
 as well as a tool for analyzing what files are big if disk space is
 scarce.
 .
 Bubblefishymon is a computer load monitor dockapp which shows network
 traffic as fishes, CPU usage as bubbles, and a duck representing a
 duck.
