Hi James, Thanks for the great suggestions and offer. I will work on this after Saturday. I am busy reflashing 12 XOs from the CUELA lending library and all my Roadshow In A Box machines (including a bunch of M-stock I repaired). Saturday is "showtime" at the LAUSD InfoTech at the LA Conven

In the context of Sugar we need a simple way to students to send their work to the teacher and a simple way to the teacher to group these works, and follow the progress. Can we start with it? Gonzalo Odiard On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 11:03 AM, Caroline Meeks wrote: > Yama, > > Great vision! > > I

Thanks for the link... Most of this was written by other folks and doesn't meet what I would call Grannie's Guide standards... i.e., it needs to be able to be used by folks who haven't a clue what BIOS is and it needs to stay out of complicated instructions. Plug'n Play is the goal. For exam

Hi everyone, After much soul searching, I've decided to step down as director of Squeakland Foundation. Since the earthquake in Haiti, my time has largely been spent on our Waveplace education pilots there, which have been very successful and are growing fast. Last night I decided that I ne

Great! Send me a link. It probably was something something I wrote last summer when I got Strawberry running in VirtualBox on my MacBook. I started with a live cd. It would be a good place to expand and really should be moved to the wiki where more folks will see it and more can contribute t

Caryl, I noticed that there is a "Grannies Guide to Sugar on a Stick" at FLOSS Manuals that has your name on one of the chapters. It looks like it never got finished or published to the front page. This might be the best place for the kind of information you're talking about. James Simmons On
