Cheers, Alan <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ---- From: David Farning <dfarning@sugarlabs.org> To: its.an.education.project@tema.lo-res.org Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 4:21:00 PM Subject: [IAEP] Sugar Labs, LOGO and Brian Harvey What is the status of LOGO for sugar?  Is it a high priority item? As much as LOGO I would like to bring Brian Harvey, the original author of BL, into the project. He has a wealth of personal experience teaching people how to program, he has a strong interest in LOGO, and is a good guy. Brian's page is at <a href="http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/%7Ebh/" target="_blank">http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/</a> . ucbLOGO's page is at  <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ucblogo/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/ucblogo/</a> . If Sugarizing logo is a priority we could do much worse then point new contributors to Brian's group to get their feet wet before diving into Sugar. I know neither the value of bringing LOGO into OLPC nor the cost of Sugarizing it to make a valid cost benefit analysis.  If some one could do that analysis and it seems like a good idea it will try to get the collaboration started. In my role as 'wiki watcher' I see quite a few people register, ask how they can help, and disappear when no one responds. thanks dfarning _______________________________________________ <a target="_blank" href="http://Its.an.education.pro">Its.an</a>.education.project mailing list <a ymailto="mailto:Its.an.education.project@lists.lo-res.org" href="mailto:Its.an.education.project@lists.lo-res.org">Its.an.education.project@lists.lo-res.org</a> <a href="http://lists.lo-res.org/mailman/listinfo/its.an.education.project" target="_blank">http://lists.lo-res.org/mailman/listinfo/its.an.education.project</a> </div></div></div> </body></html>
