Hi all,
I have been working on getting Epub support into Read, and here is the

FWIW, the 100 or so GCompris activities have an internal organization as well:
maths
physics
puzzles
reading
amusements
strategy games
discovery

Not now, I have my own work to do for GSoC.
I have talked to tomeu about what it would take to give Browse the
ability to switch between engines. The general conclusion was that
another layer of indirection would be needed, on top of
hulahop/pywebkitgtk that Browse would use.

I don't think I have the results anymore, but benches between
epiphany-webkit and epiphany-gecko were very similar.
The benchmarks I've used stress the browser engine, especially
javascript. Perceived performance is usually better with webkit as
well, though.

I think we're in violent agreement: different taxonomies are great in
that they can serve different needs [and we don't want to confuse
anyone if we can help it].

I phrased that poorly. A kid might care that James Simmons wrote Read
Etexts. He probably won't care if James Simmons is a part of Sugar

First and foremost ASLO has to make sense to grade school kids and their
teachers. That's why I didn't care for GCompris as a category. Now
since we can give an Activity up to three Categories it might make sense
to have one for the stuff that comes pre-installed. Other than that,
Sean,
All looks fab. Thanks to all involved, having a tested PDF will save our DC

Sean,
I had another thought. Activities can be included in up to three
categories on ASLO. So, in addition to GCompris we could also have a
"Core" category (or "Pre-Installed" or some other agreed upon phrase)
that would include all the Activities that are installed by default.
This would s
Before GSoC started, I did my own tests of webkit vs gecko. Firefox

Hi all,
I rolled over my sleeves and did some screencasts:

They demonstrate these points:
- Installing a XO bundle in Sugar
- Installing InfoSlicer from Sugar Labs git repo
- Playing with OOo4Kids in Sugar
Enjoy,
