Dear Michaud.
I am very glad to here that you used Squeak with your students in Shanghai. I am in Beijing now. I travel to Shanghai several times every year, so we can meet soon. There are a lot of things to do, for example, translate some materials and resources, find more people who are interesting in Squeak, localize it, use it in practice and tell children and adults how to use it, and much much more....
Anyway, we started.
Regards.
Liu

I am a middle school computer teacher at SMIC Private School in Shanghai. I teach for the English track. My grade 7 students (ages 11-12) have been learning with Squeak for the past few months. If you are in Shanghai, I would be very interested in having a Squeak user group.

Hi,
I am a programmer come from China. From a friend I got to know about squeakland. I think it is really a great thing. It can help kids in all ages learn something while playing. However, when I search squeakland materials in Chinese by Google, I found that there is little Chinese information about it, nor a Chinese community.
So, I decide to translate some basic background of squeakland to Chinese language. I just tried a couple of pages in http://www.squeakland.org www.squeakland.org. But I used some images, pictures, and links from http://www.squeakland.orgwww.squeakland.org. Is it OK? Can you give me a permission that I can use them? I just want to continue this work, to try my personnal best to introduce squeak to China, to let more and more chinese people know about it.
