Hi,
[Added ericb to CC; Eric, we're talking about which applications to
include by default on our OLPC XO-1.5 software release.]
How about suggestions for programs on the Gnome side?
That's a good idea, thanks.
I haven't decided what to do about OpenOffice yet -- at the moment we
don't ship it, but do ship abiword and gnumeric. The options for it
look something like:
* just add the openoffice.org Fedora packages for GNOME.
(How much disk space would that use?)
To provide the somewhat equivalent programs in full version OOo in
comparison to OOo4kids:
openoffice.org-writer
openoffice.org-calc
openoffice.org-draw
openoffice.org-impress
a yum install takes up ~300 MB, though I believe some of that is the
actual download.
* just add the Ooo4Kids activity for Sugar.
* just add the Ooo4Kids activity for Sugar, *and* find a way to make
the same activity launchable inside GNOME. This would need Ooo4Kids
to be useful for older kids as well, since they're the target
audience for using GNOME instead of Sugar.
The OOo4Kids activity is here:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4241 (100MB)
Claudia and I have been working with OOo4kids for the past few days
and I really like it in both Sugar and Gnome and on my own Mac. (It
can be launched in Gnome through /home/olpc/Activities/
OOo4Kids.activity/resources/program/soffice) It has very nice icon
driven interface and has much of the functionality I would expect in
typical office applications.
I like the idea of have a single application that is usuable in both
environments to reduce the overall footprint. Could we have it linked
into the Gnome Menu?
The one question I have is in regards to localization. Can we have one
bundle that supports localization, i.e. changes default language
according sugar/OFW values, or would we need different bundles?
Thanks,
Reuben
