There are various packages that are shoved all over the place, just because there isn't an Education section. A quick scan through Text and Games packages gives the following examples: kdrill: (mine, currently under "games") makedic: (goes along with kdrill [but currently, in "text") brazilian-conjugate: (currently under "text") hanzim: (currently under "text") langdrill: (currently under "text") dvorak7min: (currently under "games") gcompris: (currently under "games") gniall: (currently under "games") lletters: (currently under "games") mathwar: (currently under "games") tipptrainer: (currently under "games") tuxtype: (currently under "games") typespeed: (currently under "games") typist: (currently under "games") and presumably a whole bunch of stuff for the upcoming "Debian Jr." And who knows.. the fact that we dont have an education section, may have discouraged some people from submitting completely.
