+>&kturtle; is an educational programming environment using the &logo; programming language. It tries to make programming as easy and accessible as possible. This makes &kturtle; suitable for teaching kids the basics of maths, geometry and... programming. The commands used to program are in the style of the &logo; programming language. The unique feature of &logo; is that the commands are often translated into the speaking language of the programmer.</para>
+
+<para
+>&kturtle; is named after <quote
+>the turtle</quote
+> that plays a central role in the programming environment. The user programs the turtle, using the &logo; commands, to draw a picture on <link linkend="the-canvas"

+>What is &logo;?</title>
+<para
+>The first version &logo; programming language was created by Seymour Papert of MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 1967 as an offshoot of the LISP programming language. From then many versions of &logo; have been released. By 1980 &logo; was gaining momentum, with versions for MSX, Commodore, Atari, Apple II and IBM PC systems. These versions were mainly for educational purposes. LCSI released <application
+>MacLogo</application
+> in 1985 as a tool for professional programmers, but it never caught on. MIT is still maintaining a site on &logo; which can be found on <ulink url="http://el.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/"
+>http://el.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/</ulink
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>Today there are several versions of &logo; around which can easily be found on <ulink url="http://el.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/"
+>MIT's &logo; site</ulink
+> and by a simple <ulink url="http://www.google.com/search?q=logo+programming+kids"
+>Google search</ulink
+>. This version of &logo; (&kturtle;) is only focused on the educational qualities of the programming language and will not try to suit professional programmers' needs.</para>
