Hi Ixo, While it is not exactly what you are looking for, I thought should mention that I have started on an activity that makes motion ( http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome) easier to use on the XO. For now I am using the tarball referenced in the http://wiki.laptop.org/go/MotionDetection and wrapping it with python so that it can be started from Sugar. So far all of the discussion has been at http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=2257.0
A proof-of-concept .xo package is available at: http://www.dunmire.org/olpc/ Check the forum topic for details and status. There is lots of work to do, and I am using the project to learn about Python programming and the XO, so the program is a bit rough. Comments and suggestions are welcome. ...jerry 2008/3/18 Ixo X oxI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > FYI, > A few months back, Seth Woodworth (irc/isforinsects) and I did some > brainstorming about stop motion and webcam ideas.
