[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] Teaching typing and basic math on the XO

[Wade Brainerd]

I'm following the format used by programs like MicroType and Mavis Beacon
Teaches Typing (what I personally learned on).  Both have demo versions for
Windows available.

TT will be simple compared with these programs, but they are the general
template.

We are working towards an alpha in early January.. When it's ready I will
announce it on the sugar list.

Cheers,
Wade
