This is what I love about the open source community!  I get a response from Alan Kay, the creator of Squeak!  Awesome.

 

Actually, though, my two students are using eToys, not the Squeak language.  They are 8th graders.  However, they seem to be bumping up against the limits of the eToys environment and yesterday I showed them the code "underneath the hood" to try to solve a problem.  We'll see if they are ready to move on to coding.

 

But I guess that there really isn't a way in eToys to do shared development and versioning.  It's not crucial: a nice-to-have rather than a must-have.

 

Thanks again!
