Attention Education Committee!
Kathleen Harness has made some new QuickGuides for Etoys. I have divided these into two groups. Some of them, the "Basic Group," should probably go into the default set of QuickGuides. Others of them are about advanced features and are in the "Advanced Group". I am recommending that the advanced ones NOT be included in the default QuickGuides.
Could the Education committee please approve the new Basic QuickGuides to go into the release? The Advanced Guides will be available at etoysillinois.org or perhaps as a zip file.
It was my intension to produce a web page with images of all of the Basic guides, and another page with the Advanced guides. If you want to wait until tomorrow, you can decide this after looking at those pages.
You can download them and drop them into your QuickGuides folder from here: Basic Guides: http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/SuppliesPlayersTool.007.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/SuppliesHolder.010.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/ScriptTileWrap.014.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/ScriptTileOverlapsDot1.008.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/ObjectCatPolygon1.006.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/NavBarToggle.012.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/ScriptTileTwoColorTest.008.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/NavBarHideShow.007.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/MenuTicksPerSecond.013.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/MenuDropShadow.024.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/MenuDecimalPlaces.007.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/MenuPainting.005.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/MenuGrid-andSnap-toGrid.008.pr http://www.etoysillinois.org/sl/MenuBringtoFront.010.pr

Dear Education Committee: I forgot to say a big thank you to Kathleen Harness for writing these new guides. She has created an impressive body of work! Mind-bogglingly useful. Kathleen's proposed guides are now visible as web pages. Each guide is on a web page. The index of pages is on the left. Just click down the list on the left, and see the guides. Please take a look. It's easy.
