</i>Hi Bob,
the Squeakland Foundation, who are the protagonists for the Etoys
system, would *love* to be back in sync with the Squeak system. I'm
personally interested in exactly what you described in an earlier mail,
a "useful route into introducing and teaching Smalltalk".
I don't think that we will back-porting Etoys to 3.9 or 3.10, but rather
with the next squeak release. This is no short-term goal, but I would
like to discuss how a reunion of Squeak and Etoys could be done.
Greetings,
Rita
Squeakland Foundation
