Re: [Sugar-devel] Corrected instructions re Spellchecker in Write-63

Re: [Sugar-devel] Spellchecker in Write-63
Since this topic came again up while talking to someone who is working on a smaller deployment in Central America I was wondering whether anybody here knows whether the lack of being able to use the spellchecker is indeed a bug or intended to be like this?

Re: [Sugar-devel] "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" is on Lulu
James, thanks for the update and explanation. I can't wait to see the finalized version becoming available! FYI: I had planned to buy two copies, one for my own shelf and another one to pass on to some students who are likely to be working on a Sugar activity as part of a university course this next semester:-) In any case, thanks a lot for all your hard work on this project, I can't even begin to thank you for how useful it is.

Re: [Sugar-devel] "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" is on Lulu
Christoph, Normally books on Lulu are proofed by the author before being sold. For some reason the book was put on the store right away. When I got my own copy I found that the type was too small to read, and the font for the code samples was even worse. We therefore temporarily removed it from the store until I could prepare a new PDF with larger fonts. This is more work than you might think because I have to wrap the lines of all the code samples to make them fit on the page with a 12 point Courier font, and there were other issues too. I've been working steadily on fixing the code samples and fooling around with stylesheet options to make the next version of the book worth having. I have also gotten a talented artist to design a new cover illustration. When the end result of all this is finished the book will be available again. Just be happy you didn't get one like I got! Thanks for your patience.
