Whisker browser / Certification on squeak people?

Hi,

I'm just recently getting into Squeak more seriously, having been
dabbling for a while. I'm a maths teacher, currently using Squeak as
a demonstration tool in the classroom, and generally enjoying messing
around with it. (I used to develop software for a living, in other
languages.)

Anyway, having just discovered the Whisker browser, I've now been
saved from death by 1000 windows. Thank you, Doug! I'd like to
register my interest in Whisker on Squeak People, for which I seem
to need to be certified as an Apprentice.

So, if anyone recognises me from my few previous posts here - mostly
questions, and a contributed bugfix or two on Mantis, I'd be grateful
for a certification on Squeak People, where I'm known as sjg.

cheers,
Simon

According to http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/sjg/, KenCausey
<http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/KenCausey/> certified sjg as
Apprentice (just so others don't have to investigate).

Thanks to those kind people who did this.

BTW, can anyone tell me who administers Squeak People? There's no
obvious sign on the site itself ...

cheers,

It was built by and runs on a server owned by Cees de Groot. He has
given me access to the server as well. So the answer is Cees and I.

Is there some problem?

Yes indeed, I already had a look at that, and it is certainly
interesting.

I see there is a translation task to do, though, since the UI is
currently all in French!

Hilaire, what are your thoughts on that one? Is it clear how to do
it, and just waiting for someone with time/motivation/language skills
to do the task?

cheers,
Simon

Re: DrGeoII

Hello Simon,

The EToys people are writting a message catalog system for the Squeak
image to be shipped in the OLPC. Once such system will be integrated
in Squeak it will be easier and *safer* to translate DrGeoII.
