Thanks, Walter. It wasn't that I ever really left the fold (at least not in spirit), it was just that I wasn't teaching much programming for the last several years. That is changing in a big way now. My school is now offering high school students a dual-enrolled (high school and community

I agree with Ibiam, your screenshot is not the home view. Use the F3 key, as I said. See https://help.sugarlabs.org/ for how to switch between views. Yes, what you are doing is useful. For your assumed goal of *truly* begginer-friendly recipe, I'd like you to write a list of requirements for

It's a problem with Metacity, which is ignoring the Journal's request to be iconified. Press the F3 key. Or press the F6 key then click on the home view icon. Or put the mouse on the edge (difficult in a typical VM). On Thu, May 16, 2019 at 08:08:26AM -0400, Jeff Elkner wrote: > Hi James and

Jeff, Most, if not all, of the Sugar-specific bugs that are present in Debian should be fixed if you use the "0.112-3" (the 3 is critically important) Debian packages from the _unstable_ Debian repo. They have not yet been promoted to testing, and will likely not be included in Debian 10 when
