Well it's just a regular browser plugin triggered by the "application/x-squeak-source" MIME type (or an OCX control for Internet Explorer). The "src" argument points to an Etoys project.
Here is an example, one of Steve's own projects:
http://squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=7744
Clicking "launch" opens a new window with the plugin showing the project. The actual plugin embed code is generated using JavaScript to deal with platform differences.

Bert,
Can you explain to Justin about the Etoys plug-in so he can understand how it works and incorporate into OER Glue?
Thanks, Stephen

Would you mind adding a story for Etoys? I think I need to better understand how it works. It looks like it is a browser plugin. If it runs in a web page you should be able to use OER Glue to add other items to that page right now. The next trick, I think, is to find a way to embed the right code into other web pages that would trigger the Etoys plugin to run. Again, I'm not familiar with it so I'll have to see how it works and what it provides so that we can figure out the best integration.
Thanks, Justin

I've changed your role in Tracker. You should be able to add stories now.
Also you added a IceBox item for integrate with Scratch, could you please add one for integrate with Etoys (it's an experiment from Alan Kay and the folks at VPRI, that escaped into the wild) I am on the Etoys education committee and I want to experiment with using OERGlue and Etoys. In particular having a Etoy running in the Web Browser with OERGlue on the page.
That sounds great! Please add a story. I think Justin is already looking into this. I think we can make it happen and we would like to. Joel
