[IAEP] [ANNOUNCE] 0.88 String Freeze is in place
Dear Translation team(s), since the first of March, the String Freeze for the 0.88 Sugar Release [1] is in place. This means: No string changes may be made by the developers without confirmation from the localization team and notification to both the release team and the documentation team. This is to help you, the translators, to get a chance to make the translations for the 0.88 Release without having a moving base. Now is a good moment to intensify the localization efforts so that we have another rocking localized Sugar version that we can build tarballs with at March the 29th [1]. Please ask if there are any questions about this process, or anything you need to be able to do your translating work. Being a so well localized learning platform, that Sugar without doubt is, is one of Sugar's a big strength, keep on the awesome work - happy translating everyone, Simon [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.88/Roadmap#Schedule [2] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Release#String_Freeze ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] Math on Web
Gerald, I talked to Nibipedia people about this. Here is the reply: --- On Sugar. Our hope all along was that we would build a giant semi automated aggregation tool that would make a giant video/text database that would work in Sugar. We're much closer than we've ever been to opening up for crowdsourcing. If you know some folks at Sugarlabs, we definitely would like to talk to them. In particular, we'd love to show them our upcoming iPhone App. Troy CEO Nibipedia 612 747 2730 --- I am CCing Troy and Terry, as well.

Our school typically only fields 2-3 students in any given computer science class we offer, and they are always the same 2-3 students. This project attracted over 40 students initially, which is almost 15% of our student body. The service learning trip is the “hook” I needed to interest many students in something they might not otherwise discover. 2.
