Wonderful! Suggest: Making a wiki page on wiki.laptop.org, called ISOS - on a subtitle, put "Interactive Sugar Online Simulation" without the dashes as a subtitle, copy in information from email (without email addresses) Great idea. Suggesting putting external links, investigating thoughts such as these: - wixi, swixi -- there are a couple of web 2.0 startups that are doing things like this. I think it's critical personally that someone would develop a sugar os, web launchable platform. - think about developing documentation to help make it easier for people to install the vmware player -- investigate the build that is available for simulating sugar OS -- ask around to see if it's possible to launch through web services -- probably not - search devel list archives for recent mention of parallels version of player. - look for existing page on emulators, emulation, see if it is possible to make it more understandable to people, and if not, make a simplified version, as a step towards the easy version for everyone. - stage 1: suggest consider seeing if someone can make a flash-based simulation, not as good as full OS -- but at least it is something. easy, quick - stage 2: fuller interactivity -- guessing that adobe flex, air, one of the rich media application environments could work - stage 3: holy grail -- full os simulation -- sugar os application server, sugar os sitting on the back end, wonderful wonderful
And unless this is already habit for you (I need to learn it myself) -- publish early, publish often, meaning try to pick a day once a week (ex: sunday), to put some notes on wiki page as to how things are going so interested people can see how it goes.
