Hi,

Let's try again.

Hi,

As some of you already know, we've started the Spanish "version" of
SqueakLand.

We're active working in translation of all the content produced by
SqueakLand and related projects before going to the next step (creation
of our own content in Spanish)

We are looking for a way to run the projects (using the squeak plugin) in
our image (basically one 3.5 translated to Spanish and some pre-installed
packages like true type fonts).   By now we have a set of changesets that
convert a “virgin” 3.5 image in the Small-Land image (see
http://swiki.agro.uba.ar/small_land/13).  Now we're looking for a way to
do the same with the plugin-image.

Options I see:

1) Create our own installer of the plugin in Spanish including the
changes we want into the image (Ned's connectors, true type font,
bitstream fonts, remove of hard-coded fonts, Renewed look & feel, etc).

2) Stuck on a single plug in-image for all of us (English, German,
Spanish and a lot of others just coming).  In this case we have to find a
way to include (or to install on demand) the internationalization part in
German/Spanish/AnyLanguage.

What are the politics behind the plug in image? What other options do you
see?

TIA,
