[ASLO] [REQUEST] Tank Operation-1

[Walter Bender]

Our policy is documented here [1]; but from ASLO we have links to [2]
and [3], which are not the same and do not mention violence as a
criteria.

Regarding your comment about Tuxmath, I am not thrilled by it. But it
is in high demand by teachers. It has been on my to-do list to replace
it.

regards.
