[Edu-sig] OLPC (and a p.s. about Crunchy)

[Andre Roberge]

Some of you may remember my post

about the OLPC talk at Pycon.  I seem to remember at the time that
some people on this list expressed their desire to see this talk.

A very similar talk is now available here:

P.S.  In my February post, I mentioned
** One open issue (as I understand it) is that of finding the "best
practice" for plugins.  The idea is that the core programs should be
as small as possible but easy to extend via plugins.**

Following this, and an email discussion with Johannes Woolard, I am
glad to be able to say that "We" (read "Johannes") have now redesigned
Crunchy so that it uses a plugin architecture, making it much easier
to add new capabilities.  A new release with this new architecture
(and exciting new capabilities) should be available by the end of the
month.
