AW: OLPC eToys!

Yoshiki,

beside the main goal of your image you plan to deploy the image with tests green? If somebody run the Testrunner with all tests he will end up with a, I think, japanese environment. For beginners a little bit strange behavior. Only one little thing.

Cheers,
 Frank

   Hello,

   As you may know, the "eToys team" at Viewpoints Research is working
on a version of Squeak tailored to suit the OLPC.  (Please take a look
at http://wiki.laptop.org/ and their wiki site from there.)

   Many of us have gathered together at the OLPC office in Cambridge,
MA, for two weeks of intensive, quality hacking time.  The plan is to
finalize the image by the middle of October.

   We are making many UI changes and optimizations suitable for the
relatively modest resource on the laptop.  The effort includes
performance tweaks, simplification of menus, reduction and
reorganization of objects in the parts bins, and tweaks to both
Viewers and Scriptors, including font, color, and size choices.

   At the same time, we are trying to minimize the changes so that we
don't introduce new bugs, and in order to remain consistent with
existing documentation.

   If you are interested in what is going on, please grab the images
at:

   http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCPlugin.zip        (initial version without updates)
   http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCPlugin-960.zip    (updated on Sep. 18th)
   http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCPlugin-latest.zip (identical to the latest in this folder)

or for developers:

   http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCSqueak.zip        (initial version without updates)
   http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCSqueak-960.zip    (updated on Sep. 18th)
   http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCSqueak-latest.zip (identical to the latest in this folder)

Obviously, there are a lot of changes going into this version, so
please update the image often (I mean, really often.)

   Any comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome.  We are
setting up a mailing list for discussion on OLPC eToys.  Also, there
is a wiki page at:

   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys

Feel free to edit it for discussion on this.

   Thank you!

-- Yoshiki
