Abstarct
In this project, I propose to develop an email environment for
sharing objects, focused on the not-real-time collaboration. In
other words, it is the environment for the publishing and the subscribing
of Squeak Project as Email. It would help people to do authoring
objects and exchange them with others, for example, children who
want to publish a Project and play it with others, or teachers who
make a tutorial and want to deliver it widely. This email environment
would provide a step to further stage.
Project Summary
