[Sugar-devel] Active development

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, Dave

Scratch is based on squeak. Back in the day, OLE Nepal wrote some 80 
activities as part of EPaath using squeak. I suspect if you Google you 
will find
descriptions for both Etoys and Scratch on writing projects in Squeak. 
OLE Nepal later converted the squeak activities to html5/javascript 
because to speed up execution and reduce the memory size of the activities.
