  What I had in mind were (notice that I said he worked on or his
contribution is used in):

  - (A pirate game for a cable company?)
  - Plopp
  - Sophie
  - Qwaq Forums
  - (A company that used Squeak broswer plugin for something)
  - ...

As an open system, well, Etoys would count^^;

  Sure.

  While there are questions like whether it can be done in a
reasonable way or not and say, and whether it can be compatible with
the previous Etoys systems, the vision of having "an authoring system
for children of all ages and maintain it" is a worthy one, and quite a
few seem to be supporting the idea.  And it wouldn't really harm
"grown ups" view of the system.
