I am not exactly sure where one would suggest adding a new category to 
the ports but in any event this seems as good a place as any to debate 
adding another classification for ports...As a parent it would be useful 
to have educational type ports grouped as such. For instance my 7 year 
old was having trouble with certain basic math constructs...I nearly 
wrote my own math tutor until I stumbled accross one already in the 
games section, called garith. I most likely will make something else 
better suited to her needs but for now it will suffice. Now that I found 
this I am sure if one were too look carefully enough they could find 
several apps that could atleast be cross posted.

cheers,
mikel
