Hello : has appeared in this list new tools working in the image olpc, such as DrgeoII, ODECO (I wanted to see squeleton, too). My question is: these tools will be in the next/definitive version, or the size of the image grows too much? thanksPatricio Acevedo _________________________________________________________________ Descubre Live.com - tu mundo en línea reunido: noticias, deportes, el tiempo, y mucho más. http://www.live.com/getstarted
Hi Patricio,
I don't think that including DrgeoII or ODECo is very good idea. I prefer rather a small core image. And it is good if those application would be provided separately. It is more flexible and easy to update than one large distribution. Bert should have more clear idea.
Cheers, - Takashi

My rule of thumb would be that something that would benefit more activities or etoys in general should be included in the base system. Something that is more like an activity itself should be an activity on its own.
I have not looked at either DrGeoII nor ODECo in detail, but I'd say DrGeoII would make a nice activity, whereas having ODECo would be nice in general.

I am not sure exactly what is an activity. If an activity is more like an application in its own, I may think latest version of DrGeoII (what I call DrGeoI-service) is not anymore only in that category.
First version of DrGeoII was like an application on its own with a system window. But it was not the best option to compose your own educative resource or learning activity. For example to create an interactive book (ie BookMorph) about geometry, you may want to have interactive geometry canvases (kind of PasteUpMoprh) you want to insert in pages of the interactive book. Then you want to dispose in the same page a few icon buttons to manipulate the canvas.
See screen shots: http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire/?post/2007/06/23/Dr-Geo-II-un-composant-Squeak http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire/?post/2007/06/28/Le-squeak-pour-lOLPC
The good news is that DrGeoII only use Morph (with same abstraction layer), so from the geometry canvas you can do really what you use to do with Morph, and of course you can plug any additional Morph in the geometry canvas (Text, Image, video, Conncector between geometric object or even plug another geometry canvas...)
