[Squeakland] Re: Publishing issues

[Kim Rose]

Dear Phil,
I've just written mail to some tech folks in the group. I am SO SORRY 
you and your students are having problems.  I have seen such in some 
classrooms last year; we are aware of problems in the publishing 
mechanism, I am sorry to say.  Once piece of advice until I can send 
more -- If someone is saving an altered/ newer version of a 
previously saved project, I suggest using the "publish as" button and 
naming it something *completely different* than the first version.  I 
found that the "hang ups" occur when the project is a changed version 
of an earlier one.
More to come...
thanks for hanging in there!
Kim
