As Bert wrote, this isn't really even an option in most installations, since we don't have write access to the directory in which the etoys artifact resides. However, users such as Kathleen can, if they prefer, decide to use an etoys-dev version of etoys, which *does* have an active update stream. This is not viable in most school situations but probably is fine in various lab environments such as Kathleen's.
There are a powerfull software company who use all the planet as betatester (they have found how to filter the "user's lamentations" after).
Some teachers say that a lot of students want to work always at expert mode, they always want to have all the posibilities and experiment with them. When they get a crash with expert mode or using "update code from server" they think it is "their fault", so they look for a solution (a new and virgin image...), they have not doubt about Squeak operativeness, they "smell" they are at unexperienced lands. They are demolishers betatester and the first check point about their "experiences" is their teacher. It's only a comment, I'm not pretty sure about this question. I know sometimes it cause only headache's teacher. How about include the "update code from server" as a Preference for expert mode?, a child using Squeak IS a lab environment. |
