[squeakland] New Etoys QuickGuides by Kathleen Harness

[kharness at illinois.edu]

Carlos, 
I have not heard from Sdenka about translating the new guides. I do not know if she reads the Squeakland lists and knows about the new guides. My best guess is that it will not interfere with her plans but rather will be welcome help.
Regards,
Kathleen

None of the 30 new guides have been translated into any language. I don't know yet which guides will be selected for the new version of Etoys.
