You may need to have someone correct the laptop.org specs page: - http://laptop.org/en/laptop/software/specs.shtml
> We will support five programming environments on the laptop: > (1) Python, from which we have built our user interface and our > activity model; (2) Javascript for browser-based scripting; > (3) Csound, a programmable music and audio environment; > (4) Squeak, a version of Smalltalk embedded into a media-rich > authoring environment; and (5) Logo. We will also provide > some support for Java and Flash. "Flash" in this context is a registered trademark belonging to Adobe: - http://www.adobe.com/misc/pdfs/flash_3rd_party_trademark_guidelines_020708.pdf If the "support" OLPC is offering for Flash-type content refers to Gnash, this could be considered a trademark violation (as well as simply being misleading.) If by "support" OLPC means that Flash can be installed on the XO, I must point out that Adobe specifically disclaims support for Flash under Linux on boxen with the XO's specs. - http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/systemreqs/ This puts OLPC in the position of unilaterally offering to support a proprietary software offering of another company, something I'm pretty sure OLPC isn't intending to imply in this circumstance. Please have this page clarified. On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 5:38 PM, Samuel Klein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This year's G1G1 program will start November 17 in the US.
