This sounds awesome!! October 7th is the date when strings get frozen
for Sucrose 0.84[1], and so the timing of mid October would be
awesome. Students should ideally work on Glucose, Honey and Fructose,
and more enthusiastic ones (or the ones whose languages are already
well supported) can move on to Etoys and Scratch.

Thanks for this,
Cheers,
