In other words, Yet Another Race Against Deadline ?
Choosing the battle field is a major advance towards winning. So it's not really a race, because we choose to only make the minimally necessary adjustments to get something going.
It's just the place to dump all the garbages hidden underneath
eToys???
Maybe you missed the point about OLPC. It's not a project to clean up Squeak, but to empower children. We are glad to have Etoys and are able to fit it into the OLPC environment in a relatively short time frame.
P.S: BTW, does this OLPC eToys use Tweak?
No. It uses the well-tested Squeakland release with minor changes in appearance.
When I heard about eToys going to be shipped with first batch of machines from OLPC project I cannot help not to think back what Alan and Dan said about eToys.
My impression was that neither of them are happy with eToys.
IIRC, even Andreas was not happy at all and he was a vocal critic of morphic on which eToys was built. hence Tweak.
