Hey Yoshiki!
Nice to see the advances of the Squeak people on the olpc/2b1 platform.
I have downloaded the OLPCPlugin.image.zip
<http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPCPlugin.image.zip> and it works like a
charm including Spanish support. Will be really a charm to work on olpc
in the creation of multimedia educative Spanish content using Squeak.
Thanks a lot,
Offray
