I sort of think that SAGE lite and Knoboo would be useless for OLPC because there is already an unified software interface called Sugar and a wiki environment based around Media Wiki for the project. I don't see any point in using a whole new interface inside Sugar just to do math that would be similar to the wiki system used. I would find it annoying as say a elementary school teacher if I used two wikis for my class, one for math and one for everything else.
It appears that for applications the idea is to make small applications for certain tasks. See the software ideas for math at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_ideas#Mathematics By being modular like this an OLPC laptop can easily be shipped with just the applications that are needed by the laptop's user. I think what OLPC needs for math is small applications that each focus some small part of math education such as a calculators of various complexity including ones that show the steps for solving/computing something. I think I would personally like this if I was in say in an accounting class and had my wiki page up with my assignment and had my speadsheet app in a small window with my calculator in another and was able to move both around as needed to easily look at my data, make calculations, and record them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
