indeed, but the KickStarter entry also reads: However, in order for DesignBlocks to become more robust and complete, it needs more features, plenty of bug fixes and it needs to be ported to JavaScript/HTML5 (for mobile access). This summer, I'd like to work on DesignBlocks to get it to a suitable state for widespread testing. Doesn't it sound reasonable? I'd like to get in contact with Evelyn Eastmond to ask how she's planning to make it happen, and if she'd like to work with the Sugar community to package DesignBlocks as an activity. -- Bernie Innocenti Sugar Labs Infrastructure Team http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Infrastructure_Team _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
