It's a lot more than that . When you contrast the current WIMP UI and generic apps with UIs built for _learning_, it's frustrating to the point of being ridiculous how what we know as "conventional" UIs get in the way. Having constructivist thinking behind the UI makes a huge difference when you are working with kids. It has made moodle what it is (the project lead is a fantastic programmer as well as an educationalist, and he cares a ton about the UI). I would not work in an educational project without a clear UI concept, and Sugar is - in that sense - fantastic. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
