Talk:Etoys

Why the question mark behind "There is a mailinglist: (to be created soon?" We should be bold about this, shouldn't we?

---

I am familiar with Squeak and eToys, and have the current Squeak VM installed (for Windows). I downloaded the OLPCPlugin-960.image from tinlizzie.org and was able to get it to run. I like the default text size and font with this image. I noticed this image contains a subset of the objects in the "normal" Squeak image.

I understand that Tinlizzie is both:

1 TinLizzie" is a WYSIWYG wiki that implements Etoys using a special document format."

2 "TinLizzie is essentially a re-engineering of important parts of the Etoy environment to try to put together a more efficient and accessible architecture for the $100 laptop project..."

Is this correct?

Now when I go to tinlizzie.org and click on benchmark, the Squeak plugin opens to a small screen, but still with the normal Squeak plugin menus. Is this the size of the screen on the OLPC laptop?

I look forward to creating some useful eToys for the OLPC project and contributing to the mailing list. --User:DaveRaftery
