Application Programs Common Room
The Application Programs Common Room is a place where people may raise issues about producing application programs to run on the laptop so that they become noticed by people interested in solving such problems.

Test of Arithmetic Ability
The idea for Application Program: Test of ability with arithmetic has received some comment in its discussion page asking whether it would be more productive to work with an example where the children are being expressive.
Starting such an application program is a good idea. Does anyone have any ideas for an example where the children are being expressive which would also be a stand-alone program to run on the OLPC laptop? If so, please start a page for it by placing a link after this note, perhaps in the naming format used for the Application Program: Test of ability with arithmetic page if that is thought to be satisfactory.
