Started a Github repository - the Open Source Kids Apps List

I created a Github repository - the Open Source Kids Apps List or OSKAL for short.

The purpose is to built a similar database to the OSGL. However, I will start with the kids apps list only later. I already opened it, so I can collect potential additions in the issues. Feel free to open an issue about a suitable app.

Here is the logo (simple but does the trick, I hope).

Cannot wait to finish the next steps with OSGL

I can hardly wait for the next phase of the OSGL (open source games list) to finish. The next phase is the synchronization with the LGW (Libregamewiki) and the OSGC (open source game clones list), a cleanup (consolidate keywords and dependencies and conversions to Git) and a better static/dynamic HTML output of the results and finally a promotion tour. Currently I have almost finished the synchronization part and I hope that the rest can be done until the end of the year (that's six weeks from now).

The reason I can hardly wait is because so much other stuff wants to be done. In particular, I can't wait to

  • Finish programming the coloring-app and publish in for Android
  • Start a similar list for open source apps for kids
  • Start building and improving the open source games in the OSGL and set up a website for downloads of binaries
  • Gathering more statistics about the open source games, especially about the artwork and set up a web site for displaying artwork information
That's an ambitious plan, but I'll do my best.
