Would anyone mind if I commit the touch-related changes to the main repository? This is work in progress, but it's not big, and should not interfere with normal operation. Having it in the regular image would make it easier to maintain. Also, I hope we can focus on improving the UI for touch in next year's release (as you know, OLPC is planning to build a tablet computer).
Please. The top right button for halo is a good idea. I couldn't watch the whole video (server busy :-()). Does it work like a sticky key or do you have to keep it pressed when touching the object to bring out the halo? The former is easier on young learners but you may have to have it change color to indicate its 'hot' status. Or one must be able to drag a 'hand' icon from this key to the object being 'halo'ed.
Nice work, Bert! Subbu
