Hi, LibreLogo is a new experimental module of LibreOffice for a simple, Logo-like programming environment in Writer: a lightweight wrapper – 1400 lines in Python/PyUNO – to the embedded Python of LibreOffice and a Writer toolbar extension.
My LibreOffice conference presentation: http://www.numbertext.org/logo/librelogo.pdf Feedback from Cor Nouws: http://cor4office.blogspot.nl/2012/11/what-arabic-turtle-and-google-have-to.html Goals of LibreLogo: Teaching of computing • Programming (free, portable and modern native Logo alternative with Python data structures) • Word processors (text editing, image handling) • Migration to free software (LibreOffice) LibreOffice • Simple programming interface for graphic design and DTP (for example, see this B2 chess poster created in LibreOffice Writer for the upcoming conference of Hungarian IT teachers: http://www.numbertext.org/logo/hu/poszterek/sakk.pdf) LibreOffice development • Test bed for graphical features and PyUNO • Attract more future GSoC etc. developers for LibreOffice (in Hungary, the Logo programming contest has got 2500–3000 participants/year: http://logo.inf.elte.hu/diagramlogo2.png). Thanks to András Tímár, now it's possible to localize the English manual and the commands/warning messages of the LibreLogo environment, too. I will post a longer article about LibreLogo soon. Best regards, László
