oh yes            , trace to bitmap. Elemental. Then u can get then te shade
pictures of their faces whichb is great from about 10-20 images. But this
swhere linux-for-eduaction.org really comes in handy one site kids ended up
loving  to to bits was, nic.ubu,nu, wthich you probably know seeing as you
use with fgubbbry looking ghod, i
IF I had to chose my FOSS tool, for the Nobel Price, it would be Inkscaoe,
-apparently  a lot hard hard hacking ha to happen to git it sugarised.....
but wnere there jis s a challege their migt be undermployed enthusastic
overworkerd Eaurasins

It actually all sounds a little political  me becuasw idf you think about
Inkscape shouts out wanting to be its mascot proudct. Its  dead easy to use
fi reachesmsteundsa dn -teacers- and there is lots, and I mean really a heck
ofa  lots...

 And if just some of you (yes! you know who you are) spent 15 minutes making
a moodle course (thereis even a how do I makerty iy a moodle course in video
format!) but it is essentially just pick a localised setion, concept: Golf
Course creator (pro-.sellable, expandable, etc)

DO IT! Spend 15 miuttes today... learn 2 2things at once (they say we cant
really multitask, prove them wong)

so, in grandma fromat:

   - install inkscape
   - go to linux-for-education.org and choose an inskpe resource, believe me
   there are many
   - ytry it out, some are more  difficult thna others,,,,
   - write the moodle course, in doc format if you are woos and need me
   gonconvet it to moodle format for you. Il patronise you of course as that js
   my perogative,.
