[needs-packaging] Hackety Hack

[Fred]

Hackety Hack is a free Ruby-based environment aiming to make programming easily available to beginners, especially teenagers.

It is very simple, you can code a blog in just 6 lines of source code.
It is a great fun and educational way to teach programming to kids.

From the wikipedia page you linked:

"As of 2008, Hackety Hack appears to be an abandoned project, with the last live page on the Wayback Machine dated August 29th, 2007. Why is promising to use Shoes to build a new Hackety Hack[1]."

Thoughts?

[Fred (eldmannen+launchpad)]

Oh, I have no idea.
I never used it, I thought it seemed cool, but couldn't find it in my repository.
Didn't read the whole Wikipedia article.

Seems the guy (_why) is planning to make a new version using Shoes toolkit.

Marking as confirmed, seems to be a nice program. Thank you for reporting bugs to Ubuntu!
