</div></div>indeed, but the KickStarter entry also reads:<br>
<br>
However, in order for DesignBlocks to become more robust and complete,<br>
it needs more features, plenty of bug fixes and it needs to be ported<br>
to JavaScript/HTML5 (for mobile access). This summer, I'd like to work<br>
on DesignBlocks to get it to a suitable state for widespread testing.<br>
<br>
Doesn't it sound reasonable? I'd like to get in contact with Evelyn<br>
Eastmond to ask how she's planning to make it happen, and if she'd like<br>
to work with the Sugar community to package DesignBlocks as an activity.<br>
