Wade,
The current View Slides sends the whole slideshow in a Zip file over the
network. These slideshow Zip files can be 20-60 meg and I find that
sharing files of that size just doesn't work. Worse, if the original
file is still being shared it is impossible to resume a document you
have received by sharing without starting the whole download over
again. So I think my new idea makes a lot more sense, and I'm thinking
I can use code in Chat as an example to work from.
I have moved both my repositories to gitorious:
http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/viewslides
http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/readetexts
However, last night and this morning when I tried to do a git push to
the new repository I got this:
[...@localhost ~]$ cd olpc/readetexts/mainline/
[...@localhost mainline]$ ls
activity NEWS ReadEtextsActivity.pyc setup.py
locale po readtoolbar.py
MANIFEST ReadEtextsActivity.py readtoolbar.pyc
[...@localhost mainline]$ git push origin master
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
This is on a machine where I have never done a git push before (I did my
development work on a different box). I created my SSH key and
published the public key in the account named jdsimmons, along with the
other public key from the other box. I just used ssh-keygen with no
parameters to generate the key, and gave it my passphrase when
prompted. I think this is all I did for the other box, but I can't
remember. So I don't know if this is my problem or something to do with
git.sugarlabs.org. If you or someone else can steer me in the right
direction I'd appreciate it.

Second, now that I have this I want to perfect collaboration on my two
Activities, Read Etexts and View Slides. Unfortunately, I am
convinced
that collaboration in View Slides that involves sending large Zip
archives over the network is not and never will be practical.
What I'm
thinking about now is making the person "sharing" a slide show see
only
the image being viewed on the XO that has the full presentation. The
master XO would page through the slides and those sharing would follow
along. I'm not sure that's practical, either.
I think sending one page at a time, and having the initiator control
the presentation is a great idea. Otherwise, you might as well just
send the document to everyone and have them open it up on their own :)
Also, are you planning to move your repositories over to
git.sugarlabs.org <http://git.sugarlabs.org>? Most of the other
activities are doing that now, and we have set up a Sugar Labs
ActivityTeam (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/ActivityTeam) to coordinate
the process.
Best,
Wade
