Frankly, I didn't had a close look at your zip file, but by a quick
glimpse it looks like it is simply a new meta-garball.

That's what I would have assumed anyhow, btw. ;)  Personally I have some
apps in a private meta-garball myself. That approach is totally fine. :)

I just wonder about the "patches" you mentioned. Do you really need to
patch any part of the official GARNOME releases? If so, which parts?

There are no strict rules about which app get in into GARNOME, but
basically it's based upon common requests. We can't ship everything
available with GARNOME...

That said, my personal opinion is to have it as a separate project.
Separate, but related -- adding the entire stack of educational apps is
as easy as extracting the compressed archive in the GARNOME build root.

And maybe you can convince Paul to add your project to the External
Resources [1] page... ;)
