Hi,
I'm just recently getting into Squeak more seriously, having been dabbling for a while. I'm a maths teacher, currently using Squeak as a demonstration tool in the classroom, and generally enjoying messing around with it. (I used to develop software for a living, in other languages.)
Anyway, having just discovered the Whisker browser, I've now been saved from death by 1000 windows. Thank you, Doug! I'd like to register my interest in Whisker on Squeak People, for which I seem to need to be certified as an Apprentice.
So, if anyone recognises me from my few previous posts here - mostly questions, and a contributed bugfix or two on Mantis, I'd be grateful for a certification on Squeak People, where I'm known as sjg.
cheers, Simon
According to http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/sjg/, KenCausey http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/KenCausey/ certified sjg as Apprentice (just so others don't have to investigate).

Thanks to those kind people who did this.
BTW, can anyone tell me who administers Squeak People? There's no obvious sign on the site itself ...
cheers, Simon
It was built by and runs on a server owned by Cees de Groot. He has given me access to the server as well. So the answer is Cees and I.
Is there some problem?

You can be interested in the work of hilaire fernandes around DrGeoII. He also a math teacher and C++ programmer that codes in Squeak now :) He is now doing another project on semantic guiding of students.

Yes indeed, I already had a look at that, and it is certainly interesting.
I see there is a translation task to do, though, since the UI is currently all in French!
Hilaire, what are your thoughts on that one? Is it clear how to do it, and just waiting for someone with time/motivation/language skills to do the task?
cheers, Simon
Hello Simon,
The EToys people are writting a message catalog system for the Squeak image to be shipped in the OLPC. Once such system will be integrated in Squeak it will be easier and *safer* to translate DrGeoII.
