Thomas, In the chapter "Adding Refinements I have some sample code for creating, listing, and reading from Journal entries. I'll probably add an example of deleting a Journal entry as well. And while I am no expert in collaboration *yet* I will definitely be covering that in a future chapter. I

Gary, I don't have a Mac. My brother has one but lives in another state. I know the latest Macs run a kind of Unix on Intel chips, but can they run sugar-jhbuild? Or do you run Sugar in a VM of some kind? If you browse through my chapters you'll see my way of doing things and maybe you can giv

Walter, I figured out a simple answer to this this morning. I'm going to use sugar-jhbuild on my Fedora 11 box. I started the process of setting it up and so far it's relatively painless. This kills two birds, because I probably should have something more to say about sugar-jhbuild in the book

Hi, Some thoughts that came up today - I will turn into bugs or discard after feedback. Is there a reason the etoys save a copy (keep as) button is not colored like in other activities? Is there a reason the stop button is not the most right one like in other activities? The secondary option
