Man, do you realize what you wrote here is incredibly out of place ?
This is Squeak-dev here, Squeak has been involved with education and
children since its beginnings, we have EToys, Scratch, OLPC. My own
children use it. If you want a cultural revolution, ok, but first gather
your troops, and let us count them.
There's definitely a need to have everybody explicit their view of what
it Squeak, me repeat again... surprises could be ahead.
