What would be really interesting is if someone could come up with a way 
to author projects at their native OLPC resolution (1200x900) while 
viewing them at half that size, that is, scaled by 0.5 in a 600x450 
window. This is because the actual resolution of the display is 200 dpi, 
whereas a normal monitor has 100 dpi.

Of course we also need cool example projects to show off all the stuff 
that is accessible for etoys (remember the "Worlds of Squeak" projects 
that were in Squeak releases prior to 3.8?).

We use the very latest Linux VM, which is 3.9-8 (only available from SVN 
for now). I did set up a build system, follow the Sugar instructions at 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys

In fact, it is identical, because it is just pulling the latest from SVN 
  on checkout.
