Hi, I tried to post this to the "Ask a question" form but got an internal server error in response. I was going to say:

Hey, any sign of a Linux version of 1.0? If some porting work needs to be done, could you describe it? I'd be willing to help. Thanks!

Hmmm. Oh, you know what. Were you logged in? I think the code might have some problems with anonymous entries, I'll look it over tonight.

There isn't a single package Linux version, but you can make a Shoes on Linux and then run the .shy file. We'd love to have some help with a Linux port, though... send me an email, and we'll talk about it. That'd be awesome.

No, wasn't logged in.

I thought I'd start out by just getting it running, but I'm pretty stuck at a Shoes window with "undefined method `font' for (Object):Object".

Hm. Strange. How'd you get your Shoes? Did you compile it?

No, grabbed the latest Ubuntu package. I'll try compiling now.

Oh, my. That is about two years old. Team Shoes has started poking at the Debian beaurocracy to get that fixed, but it'll take a while.

Please send me an email if you have Shoes problems. I've been trying to improve those docs...
