The beauty of Etoys is all the source is available and you can look at it and modify it right inside Etoys. Cheers, Stephen ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Book > request=learning-with-etoys-imagine-invent-inspire Chapter > request=index Yes, I mean the book itself. I am involved in Debian, where we go by a principle that code and documentation must be Free not only in its "binary" (i.e. consumer) form but also its source. It is not satisfactory that some kind of "source" can be derived from the "binary" (e.g. reverse engineering, screen-scraping etc.) but that the preferred source format of the authors is made available. By no means to I mean to impose this principle must apply to this book. But I am curious _if_ it does apply, because then I have the opportunity of getting the book included with Debian, and that way also included with Skolelinux, which I am sure would be quite appreciated and used. Hope that makes sense.

Wauw - really exciting! And freely licensed! I am curious about sources for the book - are those freely and openly available too?

[IAEP] Yama no longer candidate Re: [ANNOUNCE] Oversight Board Election has begun
Dear all, I am currently with a less than ideal connection, I wish I would have removed myself from the list of candidates before the election got going, my apologies. I do still care deeply about the user experience of those who have been given Sugar as their interface, and wish that real world needs, especially the teacher's, will be prioritized, but I rather let others do the oversight for it.
