Regarding the Dynabook, I envision two levels of user collaboration at 
the application level, including from junior high school students.

- Pluggin to enrich the knowledge models the educators and students can 
use in a dynabook documents. Think of Dr. Geo, Dr. Geo is complex but 
you can have much smaller and simpler plugin to represent knowledge or 
tools. Likely it should be possible to organize contribution from 
university students, from projects or equivalent.

- Scripting of the plugin to represent specific knowledge. Think of 
DrGeo Smalltalk sketch, for example a Smalltalk script to represent a 
triangle with an inscribed circle. Such declarative script can be 
written by junior high school students.

This will require a careful design in the plugin interface, I don't have 
prior experience on that. I remember Philip discussing it could be 
better to have several image running and communicating between each 
other, likely more efficient too with multiple cores CPU.

Namespace could be necessary too or at least useful, I don't know yet.

My experience warns me to keep things simple and to rely on existing 
tools with low or even better no cost of maintenance. Our most precious 
asset is our time.
