One like that is nice.

Yeah, my subdomain for 000 is .comli.com

I just checked and 000webhost is offering .comli.com!

Do we want that instead? Or do we want .co.uk or .net63/23.net?

I like 23....

The only way that you could get a free .co.uk domain is if you are a British Business. Then you can go to http://www.gbbo.co.uk where you get a free site for your small business and a .co.uk domain name!

What if you're a British nonprofit organization?  You could form a membership corporation (for which I'm sure you'll need a legal adult) Panther Programming Ltd!

Lol! That would be funny. We'd have to publish our accounts. Proft 0, exspense 0, etc.

Not at all!  You could take off part of your Internet access fees as expenses, and when you start selling t-shirts you'd have income.  (Not profit, you'd be a nonprofit so all your income would stay in the organization rather than distributed to shareholders.)
I see you're new at nonprofit organizing.

tell me more...

Well, first of all, I was joking -- it takes a fair amount of effort to file all the forms, every year, not just once, which takes time away from programing.  But, yeah, you can organize a nonprofit that's for a public good, like say education of young programmers, and you set up a board of directors (who are adults), and you hire a staff (who aren't necessarily) and that's about it.

You hire a lawyer to file the initial paperwork  And you make sure it's one who's done nonprofits before; once a bunch of us decided to start a school, and a friend of a friend who's a big fancy corporate lawyer offered to do us a favor and set up the corporation for a discount rate on his time, and he copied the articles of incorporation of WGBH, the local public TV station (this is when I was teaching in Massachusetts), which is a public nonprofit, which means anyone who wants can send them money and become a member and vote on who gets to be the board of directors, which is not what we wanted, because then some group could join en masse and vote us out of our organization.     So there we all were sitting in his office with the clock running while I had to give everyone including this lawyer a lesson in nonprofit law.  Luckily I'm the kind of person who when a lawyer says "here, sign this" I actually read it first. 

Was that what you wanted to know?  Btw I'm sure the details of the law are all different in Britain.

Just your browser 

I'm finally done with the installer. I have a files only installer here and a pkg installer here.

We've has a request. I have NOOO idea how we'd manage to do this, but apparently Scratch has just been released for an OS called Sugar. A man called Tony contacted me suggesting we create a version for "Sugar" too... anyone heard of that one?

Sugar is the operating system for the One Laptop Per Child machine.  It's a complicated user interface built on top of Linux whose most interesting feature is easy collaboration among users on a mesh network -- something that, as you know, is already part of Scratch. Sugar is constantly looking for peers in its wifi neighborhood.

Scratch has run under Sugar for a long time.  I don't know if the Sugar-Scratch source is part of the mainstream source or a separate version, but I'm sure you could get the details from the Scratch Team if you're interested.

P.S.  Since both Scratch and OLPC are products of the Media Lab it's probably not a coincidence that they both do mesh networking.

P.P.S.  One nice thing about Sugar for you guys is that all processes are automatically sandboxed by default.

Thanks, I feel we should look into that one, from the looks of the site, it's a very community friendly thing, something I'm eager to support.
