Felipe, "never bet against the browser" is absolutely true
However, gnash is roughly 2-3 developer years behind macromedia flash. the big hurdle is adding support for ActionScript3 to Gnash. I don't think that better integrating Gnash into Sugar would be the best use of your time. The better bet is to integrate activities created with javascript + html5 into Sugar. I earlier advocated a framework called "Karma" for integrating flash swfs into Sugar. I now believe that javascript + html5 is a much better bet because it better adheres to our common belief in open-source and allows "View Source." Also, there are far more javascript developers out there than flash developers. This new rework of Karma could take advantage of projects like jquery-UI and new javascript animation libraries like processing.js and GX. You could start out by trying to recreate some of OLE Nepal's existing flash activities as javascript + html5. You can find some here: http://www.pustakalaya.org/external-content/static/epaath/E-Paath-2.activity/activity/Activity/MenuStage.html If you are interested in such a project, I am definitely be interested in mentoring you. I have to warn you though that I am professionally a project manager and not a software engineer. In fact my software development skills are extremely limited beyond writing broken python scripts. -- Bryan W.
