Hi! I'm not sure how many of you remember me, I was that Summer of Code student working on Crunchy with André Roberge. Sadly I've been rather busy for the past few months and so haven't been able to participate much in Crunchy or the edu-sig.
Anyways, I'm off to Germany in a couple of days to visit grandparents - and so will have far too much spare time to devote to Python coding and other such forms of enjoyment. I'll be there for 10 days and wanted to implement some worthwhile feature for Crunchy: The problem is, I can't decide what - so I though I would ask you guys what you want to see in there... I assume (from your responses on this list) that at least a few of you have tried Crunchy and have ideas for it's future development. A couple of people have suggested/endorsed the idea of having some way of centrally collating doctest results from a group of students and giving students a way to hand in work through crunchy. This would take the form of a seperate server that would simply receive doctest results from clients and spew out statistics. It would also enable markers to view code, created by studnts in crunchy, from a centralized repository - even after the students have logged off and gone home. That's one idea. Another idea is to create some kind of VLAM creator (VLAM is the markup used by Crunchy to embed interactive elements). This would simply find all the likely candidate elements in a given document and give the user a GUI method of converting them to VLAM. This would make the creation of new Crunchy tutorials even more trivial! Does anyone else have suggestions/votes on what I should implement? While I'm at it I might as well mention our new repository: Crunchy development is now hosted by Google Code Hosting at http://code.google.com/p/crunchy/ Someday I'll get round to adding some proper development docs to the wiki, but in the meantime if anyone would like to help develop Crunchy or create new material for it - then as always just ask André or myself what needs doing. Or just go ahead and write some cool feature and send it to us. yrs Johannes -- Johannes Woolard, Entz Rep, Oriel College, Oxford, 0X1 4EW mobile: +44 7847 679381 _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
