Sorry, I was meant to be following up on this from last weeks ActivityTeam meeting, where we didn't get to any specific conclusions and had to move on with the agenda. Note that the current ASLO allows a developer to pick upto 3 categories for their Activity to be tagged in, I quite like the restriction, but I understand it is possible to take this limit off. Here's the feedback so far: Current ASLO (from original OLPC wiki): Search & Discovery, Documents, News, Chat, mail and talk, Media creation, Programming, Maths & Science, Maps & Geography, Media players, Games, Teacher tools. Gabriel Eirea: Artistic, Natural sciences, Social sciences, Language, Mathematics, Second language/Foreign languages. Eben Eliason: Math, Science, Language, Artistic, Programming, Communication, Neighbourhood, Writing garycmartin (me): Reading, Writing, Art, Maths, Science, Programming, Geography, Communication, Games. nrp: Utilities. I also liked the suggestion for a Literacy category, that could potentially be used to replace Reading and Writing (keeping the list shorter). Also the terms Numbers, and Words came up as possible alternatives, and I just noticed we'd missed Music. So, summing up so far, this could give us something like: Art Communication Games Geography Literacy Maths Music Programming Science Utilities I'd love to see some more feedback on this so we get a good robust set of categories with an educational slant. Now ideally, actual users would provide the tagging information for Activities, but that's a whole 'nother ball game to get into ;-) Regards, --Gary > thanks > david > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
