Well, it also needs to redone to be successful and congruent with the Gnome
or any other Linux interface!

--  virtual desktops

--  resizing of IDE elements.  Or resolution independence, if they prefer
that.

Yup: Go On; Rub It In!

However; what incentive have RunRev got until somebody
or something shows them that "there's gold in the Linux hills" ?

Before you go too far down that road, let me warn you that attempting
to run runrev as a Sugar app will have each stack window take up the
entire screen.



You're light-years ahead of me; first of all I've got to p*ss around with
the Terminal to get the thing onto the hard disk; whether I can be
bothered to do that is the biggest question at the moment.

Until I have had the smallest kids I work with (7-8 years old) play
with the thing from a live CD I'm doing "Nuffin" further.

[OT] OLPC GUI

2010-05-11 Thread Richmond Mathewson

 Wow: I'm running an OLPC Sugar live CD on a P4 just now
to get a feel for the interface.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Live_CD

It is totally "other"; i.e. non-WIMP, which is rather
refreshing; although the whole thing is rather
confusing i you have been using WIMP GUIs for the
last 20 years.

It is, however, not targetted at people who have had access
to computers, let alone WIMP GUIs, at all.

I shall subject some of the kids I teach and see how they
react to the thing; although they are "bombed out" on
Windows XP, and are comfortable using GNOME in
my school.

How would one integrate some form of RunRev into
this interface?

Certainly worth thinking about.
