You should suggest Chalk&Kidscape as projects for ProjectPossiblity  maybe
(Chris?!)?

Hmm, get Network Error (tcp_error) on the chair, might be our flaky network
though...

Cheers.

Simon,

thanks for the kudos...
take the scaling to extremes: visit http://www.peepo.com and click on the
chair, not it's border.

making one... well for the moment that's techie, though not awful...
It's not secret just hand coding, as the GUI tools aren't available.
requires php css svg etc...

for those interested in an authoring tool proposal:
"chalk" http://peepo.co.uk/peepo2/authoringTool.html
"kidscape" child friendly version of inkscape:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170488

adding audio is not a problem, just takes time.
see http://www.peepo.co.uk using ff for best results this is in around 6
European languages.

regards

	This is cool and resizes nicely... Newb question - how would I make
my own
	one of these?! How could it be made to speak out the concept when
you mouse
	over? 
	
	
	Cheers.

	Mats, Steve and all..
	
	http://www.openicon.org is now online again.
	
	thanks so much for these excellent bug reports, comments to follow.
	please review the whole project and let me know your thoughts!
	
	http://www.openicon.org/feeds/zanadu.svg
	is one nice entry point, my homepage.. 
	pussycat for the 'visual' search engine - pre-alpha - need those
category
	icons.
	the weather has been hot for some time.
	
	Openicon.org runs on my laptop, and BT have been struggling to
maintain my
	broadband connection in Central London.
	so there could be problems....
	
	regards

	Hi Jonathan and Steve,
	
	I had no problem viewing the svgz links in my Firefox. Right now I
	can only get to the vegetables - something wrong with the fruit one
right
	now. But I missed  the banana? ;-)
	
	The additional functions (tabbing and mouseover text) is only
	available in Opera, and Amaya I suppose? 
	
	I can also download the svgz file, and I can extract the svg file
	with 7-zip. 
	I can open both the svgz and svg  files with both Firefox and
	Inkscape, but here is a funny thing when I open in Inkscape; two of
the
	vegetables have disappeared (regardless of whether it is the svg or
svgz
	file I open) - see below:
	
	In Firefox:<Image.1210628968906.jpg> In Inscape:
	<Image.1210628990485.jpg>
	
	
	Cheers,
	
	Mats <mailto:mats.lundalv at sit.se>

	Steve,
	
	$  cat vegetable.svgz | gzip > vegetable.svg
	wfm.
	
	did you try opening in a browser or other UA?
	then view source, or save as svg
	
	if this still isn't working, let me know,
	
	regards

	Sorry I don't understand. svgz is supposed to be

	not having any luck opening it with an archive
