Hi,
The following showed up on the Squeak Mantis bug tracker, and I
am hoping that someone on etoys-dev may be able to help.

Reporter: ericgao
Summary: 0007599: Could not type chinese in Squeak
Description:
"In Squeak 3.8, i could type chinese in Squeak WorkSpaces but
in Squeak 4.1, I couldn't type any chinese character, only some confusing character showed to me?
Could Squeak support the language type in with the character supported in system? "
The problem report was auto-assigned to me, but unfortunately I have
no background in Chinese language and Squeak internationalization, so
I cannot help.
I think that the person asking the question (ericgao) is not familiar
with the Squeak and Etoys mailing lists, so I am asking the question
here on his behalf.
Can anyone provide a pointer that might help?
Thanks,
Dave
We have the offer of a calculus book for elementary grades. Please
take a look at Don's Web site,
http://mathman.biz/
and let us discuss what it would take to get this done up in a series
of Etoys projects. If others think it worthwhile, I will invite Don
here.
I am also proposing that FLOSS Manuals publish the book, and will ask
on the Sugar list whether anybody would like to work on this as a
regular Sugar activity in Python.

Hi guys!
I want to tell you some exciting news. Thanks to the ESUG Innovation
Technology Awards we've been able to buy ourselves a Microsoft Kinect. We
don't have a Xbox 360 yet, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun
with it. Who needs and Xbox if you can use Kinect with Etoys? :)
After seeing Stephen Howell's great work using Kinect with Scratch, we
followed his steps and made it available for Etoys as well.
See it for yourselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnqqaHvbeqg
You can find installation steps in our blog: http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
Waveplace is headed back to Haiti to start 5 new XO pilots.

Here's the first blog post:
With flights just bought, we're off to Haiti once again. In two weeks, two days, we'll spend two weeks, two days, starting new pilots: two in Cite Soleil, two in tent camps, one with a youth choir, all of them exciting.
As usual, there's a half dozen snags. We don't yet have the laptops out of customs, which makes me nervous as hell, though our chief partner said, "It'll be fine, book your flights", so we did.
Even if we get the laptops out of customs, we won't know how many of them work until just before the pilots. Even if all are working, we still won't have enough, which means we'll bring twenty ourselves.
Our chief contact at JP/HRO resigned over the holiday break. We'll be talking with her replacement on Thursday, who seems equally enthusiastic, though major changes so close to a pilot start are always fun.
Yesterday an impartial commission announced that Celestin (the unpopular candidate) was actually behind Martelly (the popular one). Preval and Celestin will react to the news after tomorrow's anniversary, which could spark a new round of rioting. We're also hoping the runoff election will be scheduled after our trip.
Pretty much the only certain thing is that we're on a very, very tight budget. We can't rent a car, we can't travel to Léogâne, we can't do much more than walk back and forth to the school. Every dollar counts.
But we're going. Our work paid off. How to pay the bills in March is another question. In February, we'll make a difference.

Hi,
There are older projects made using Squeak that worked in 4.0 and do not in 4.1.1
Using Etoys 4.1.1 on a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Home premium and the Firefox browser to access projects in EtoysIllinois.org
for example:
http://etoysillinois.org/library?sl=81
The bug report attachment is for this project.This project has a sound file, maybe that is the problem?
As an experiment to see if I could salvage the project, I download and saved the file, opened it etoys4.0 saved it on my computer and then opened it etoys 4,1,1 and the sound worked as did the script.This is a lot of steps but would at least mean the student's projects would not be lost forever.
another problem:
Many projects made using Squeak (orange red flaps) show this kind of problem.
http://etoysillinois.org/library?sl=165
The navigator bar shows briefly as the project is opening but then only the toggle icon remains. When the toggle is clicked, it relocates to the top left side of the window and no other icons show. I found I could get a halo, use its white menu select the green option and then the gray to make the NavBar icons appear. If I selected the gray option first the NavBar icons did not appear. Beginners will not know to do any of these steps and will just be lost.
Do you plan to have a new version release in April? Will it be possible to fix the problems I have described in that release?
The EtoysIllinois site has over1300 projects, some done as many as 5 years ago, what do you suggest I do about the older projects? Should I remove them or download them and upload again in the newest version?
Projects from my computer folders (not from the internet) had the same problems.
Any help or advice will be very welcome.
Regards,
Kathleen
