Hi everyone, let's go on pragmatically ;-) Recently Daniel Ajoy on LogoForum posted a link to a description of one of Alan Kay's projects, called logowiki, by himself:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/olpc-software/ <http://www.redhat.com/archives/olpc-software/>2006-April/msg00035.html Worth reading! He not only writes about how this project fits into his "children first" efforts, but also (in some detail) about the difficulties of implementing such a system using DOM and JavaScript). And he manages it easily to mention Smalltalk only once, marginally ;-) Imho in the first place his initiative has to be considered as a political one. (As is the initiative to reimplement Squeak in Python.) The logowiki can be found here: http://www.logowiki.net I wonder if something similar could be done for Python easily? For instance using xturtle, which is built on a rather small graphics interface. I think the project has some similarities with Andre Roberge's Crunchy Frog. A thing like this certainly could be another building block in our efforts to bring Python to the people. Perhaps one of the web frameworks TurtboGears or Django or the Ajax-people have some ressources ready to implement this. So I've simply two questions: (1) Which Frameworks, Libraries, tools are adequate for a Python project similar to logo-wiki? (2) Who is interested in undertaking it or assisting it?
