Comments and suggestions welcome. Please no fussing about
formatting
or grammar; this is all draft. However, I would appreciate
anyone
pointing out broken links.
Mostly, I'd like to hear what you think I've left out (or
anything
I've gotten wrong).
The thrust of the article is tarting to emerge: CP4E is
real again
thanks to OLPC (a project whose near-term success, while
desireable,
is uncertain) and Sugar, its user environment, which may
well be
unstoppable.
On the advocacy front, this presents Python with a potential
killer
app with possibilities far larger than Ruby on Rails can
ever aspire
to.
thanks for your attention
Michael Tobis
