w00t! The first Girls' Open-Source Coding Group (GOSCG) was a huge success! We've got a nice guideline laid for our little program and we're excited to continue.
Here are some of the details:
We decided to create an email program (quickly titled Kangaroo Mail) and use Subversion via Google Code to host our repository (http://code.google.com/p/kangaroo-mail). We've decided on the language of PHP to access the API to attach our program to a Gmail IMAP base.
We plan to have the child's desktop display only the emails marked with a special tag from the guardian's account. When the child "deletes" the email, they are actually only removing the tag from the message. Children will not be allowed to type specific "to" recipients, instead, they must select from a pre-determined list, created by the Guardian. Recipients will receive the email from the guardian's email address, with the subject "Email From 'Child' via Kangaroo Mail on MM-DD-YY".
Contributors can keep-up with the project by following the blog (http://girlsopensource.blogspot.com) or by subscribing to the GOSCG email list (http://groups.google.com/group/thinkersmith-goscg).
