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
The child need learn english?
Hi! I search for Squeak in portuguese and I not found. It's necessary to the children to learn english to use this tool?
- There are three parts in Squeak: the language itself, the user interface and eToys. For children the priority is eToys and Paulo Drummond translated those to Portuguese. He has also created a site about Squeak in Portuguese but his download page just points to the English site, so I suppose his translation is available in the normal Squeak distribution (at least the Squeakland version) and you just need to select a menu option to change the language for the eToys tiles and ballon help. It would be great to translate the normal user interface as well and, though many people are against the idea, the actual language too. --Jecel 12:08, 27 September 2006 (EDT)
