How do I save a squeak etoy project?
How do I "Publish It!"? Can I place this in "my own" web space (i.e. my account on my isp's server)?
Yes you can, and there are a variety of ways this can be organized. For example, in one of the LA schools we work in, the classroom has quite a few computers but not nearly as many as there are children. The children's projects are published to school servers and they can bring them to whichever computer they are working on that day. The basic idea is that you should be able to author, publish, and find projects anywhere on the net with as close to a "one button" UI as possible.
This also gives children something most adults wish they had, which is a WYSIWYG full media authoring and publishing system for the web that can do all from within or without a browser.
As Andreas mentioned, some care has been taken to protect projects from being used as viruses. For example, they are encrypted when sent outside the child's machine and signature protected against being corrupted. Projects brought in from the outside can be run safely in Squeak in part because they are confined as to the resource access powers they have on the child's computer.
Cheers,
Alan
