I'm in the process of writing a paper on SQUEAK and how it can be used as a tool for technology education. Has any research papers/studies been conducted on how squeak affects elementary school student learning? I taught elementary school for 10 years prior to starting a Master's program and can see some real potential with Squeak. I'm interested in knowing if any quantitative or qualitative research (or any papers for that matter) have been published regarding Squeak. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All,
While I have successfully used Nebraska (in cases where all users had static IPs), I would love some quick how-tos for each of the items under the collaborative heading in the Object Catalog, for instance with badges: how to deal with dynamic IPs and, less technically, how to add an image.
Also, I remember Alan mentioning (in his talk at Teachers College) some kind of community server where Squeakers could register and find each other; it would be great to bypass the IP issue and to find and connect through usernames. Is such a sever currently in the works, or part of a long range plan. I am sure one the hardest parts is figuring out how to handle privacy and make sure that registrants have not misrepresented themselves or their motives.
Thanks,
John

On the subject of dynamic IPs, you could either provide your own nameserver services along with your DHCP server, or if you're using Windows (or are on a network that has a WINS server) you can just use the machine names.
I'm running a Samba server on my Linux box, and I've got it set up as the WINS server. I can just refer to Windows machine names.

Their Croquet work includes a collaboration architecture that will allow this, and will deal with security and privacy.
