Summary
Gnome
This package includes a collection of programs for children
which are built for GNOME. A GNOME desktop is not required
in order to run these. They are kept separate merely so that
installing a Debian Jr. system won't drag in all kinds of
GNOME dependencies.
As such, this package is by no means a complete collection of
programs suitable for children in GNOME. The Debian Jr. project
will be adding to this list in future release, and likely
refining the package into categories the way the rest of Debian
Jr. packages are now organized.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

A large collection of educational games for small children. It is meant to
become some sort of unified interface to integrate more educational
games.
Language-oriented games now contain vocabulary for too many languages
to list them heres. Sounds and voices are also available for a number of
languages, check the gcompris-sound packages for your language.
Currently available boards include:
-
learning how to use a mouse and keyboard
-
learning simple arithmetics
-
learning how to read an analog clock
-
recognize letters after hearing their names
-
reading practice
-
small games (memory games, jigsaw puzzles, ...)
-
etc.
It is designed so that it is easy to implement new boards to
GCompris.
A number of boards are only available if other packages are
installed, see the Suggests list for more details.

This program displays the time and date of specified time zones using a
GTK+ interface. It also allows the zones to be synchronised to a time other
than the current time.
The time zones may be entered by hand in TZ format or chosen from a list
prepared from /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab. The zone list is kept in a format
consistent with the shell script tzwatch.
