I have just recently read this pdf which is about recommending IT for science education and promoting the usage of office suites (mostly spreadsheets / word processors / databases / paint programs) for education. http://www.concord.org/publications/detail/itsme-98.html They effectively recommend that for a student to have meaningful reports or presentations the programs have to support inserting pictures and spreadsheets into text documents. So my question is: What is the "official" plan to support something like OLE or KPart or Bonobo? Personally I hope that the plan is not to support them but who thought out the perfect user story for data exchange? My issue is that how to import models from something like Paint into my educational application which teaches kids how to defend the planet in case of an alien invasion... _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
