Etoys is already deployed as a web app. (Unfortunately it lost the plugin wars, so there only a few hundred apps - aka projects - out on the web, and it is hard to recruit new users. Carlos himself uploaded 33, which, in my opinion, are just as easy to use as the circle-the-cat game. )
XO owners can also store Etoys apps on their own laptop, and share them over the mesh without access to a web server. I think it is imperative that one day Sugar also offers a way for students and teachers to store, modify and share HTML5 web apps, if it doesn't already. The Browse, Opera and Firefox activities already offer much of this. I can't say where that should fall in the priorities of the deployments or the wider community, but I am glad to hear that some are thinking about it. I think that OLE Nepal switched from Etoys to web apps in 2009, and thanks to this discussion, I just read this article that Bryan Berry wrote back then which addresses Carlos's question more directly: http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/nepal/javascript_html5_educational_software.html I hope that helps. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
