An OLPC France volunteer has led the development of http://server.sugarizer.org as a shell for the many activities that have themselves been ported to the web in the last 10 years - including http://server.sugarizer.org/activities/Etoys.activity/index.html :D > We continue to work on projects and problems concerning programming > languages, UI design and tools for children and adults to amplify learning > and human interaction through a variety of media. > Its great to hear that the work continues :) I've struggled to understand what current and future work of VPRI might be, and I'm also somewhat struggling to tie together the website's description of the activities to the published works of the past. For example, http://vpri.org/html/work/pichri.htm says, "The research team at Viewpoints Research is working on ways to create, illustrate and share powerful ideas content in both dynamic and WSIWYG ways." I'm not sure, though, if any of those ways has been published about? I couldn't find anything about publishing in http://vpri.org/html/writings.php :/ > As for a "roadmap", we have recently begun some interesting and exciting > collaborations with new colleagues from around the globe.

I'd love to learn more about them :) What are the other means of communication - as I'd love to subscribe :) -- Cheers Dave
