[Sugar-devel] [GSOC' 20] Idea Discussion (Port Sugarizer activities to Sugar)

[Saumya Prakash]

Hi !
My name is Saumya Prakash. I have some questions regarding the idea Port
Sugarizer activities to Sugar

.


   1. Is it okay to say that if  I can't find Sugarizer activity written in
   python this mean that I have to write in python following these
   

steps
   and this is known as porting Sugarizer activities to Sugar.
   2. I am not able to understand "backport the changes from Sugarizer
to sugar-web".
   (in Suggested issues to work on)

Currently, I found GetThingsDone

activity
is not in python so I am writing it in py to understand and gain some
experience in writing activities and try to release it.

I have shared my GDoc link of proposal at gsoc website but its not
completed. I will share it to mailing list as soon as I completes it and
clears all my doubts.

Thank you.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Query regarding GSoC timeline

[James Cameron]

Hello Chandan Prakash,

You know about an uncertainty, so put that uncertainty in your
timeline.  Something like "Unavailable for one week some time between
 and  for exams that are yet to be scheduled by the 
university."  You might also explain in the note if you plan to work
extra hours either side of that week to compensate for the time lost.

Sugar, Music Blocks, and Sugarizer are open source projects, and these
projects thrive on volunteer effort by many people, along with
contributions from Google and OLPC.  Acquiring a new volunteer is
precious to us, and so Sugar Labs engages with GSoC to find volunteers
from among the student body.  We offer our mentoring, Google offers
their administration and money, and hopefully Sugar Labs gets someone
who will be with us for a long time.

But that isn't a reason not to do a timeline.  Doing a timeline
demonstrates your capacity for estimating and project planning.  Some
of your mentors have decades of experience in this, and can quickly
sense a weak timeline.

As I've said before (12th March), don't spend too much time planning
the work into a project schedule or against the evaluation timeline.
We don't value this kind of scheduling or planning, because we know
that (a) there is always more to do than can ever be done, (b) the
only way to know how long something takes is to do it, and (c) falling
short of a schedule may cause hasty work which brings us problems
later.

A better use of your time may be concentrating on being the right fit for
Sugar Labs;

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Abdullali,

Thanks for your proposal but it's a very basic today.
You should explain more precisely how the activities will look like and how
you will implement it.

Regards.

   Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Request for sugarizer knowledge activity pack proposal review

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Prakash,

Nice proposal.

I'm surprised about your mention of Sugarizer Vue Activity Template: it's
very cool. It could be completed by a full implementation of the tutorial
in Vue.js.

Regarding the Curriculum activity, skills completed should be displayed in
a different way than skills uncompleted. i.e. the use should not have to
click on a skill to know if it's completed or not. I'm not sure what the
"Progress" button will show.

Regarding the Vote activity, I don't see the interest of "Time period or
expiry   date/time of poll": it will start/stop when the host determine it.
Same for "Max   number of votes allowed"; every user connected to the
activity should be able to vote.

Regards.

 Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2020 (Knowledge Activity Pack) Proposal Review Request

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Dhruv,

Good proposal with lot of information about how the activities will work
and how you will do it.

Few remarks:
- Regarding Curriculum activity. About generation in PDF/Word/ODT you've
miss the ODT part. I suggest you to take inspiration (or even retrieve
code) from Write activity where PDF/Word/ODT generation is implemented.
- Regarding Vote activity, I don't understand how a race-condition could
happen: presence is handle from the server side, not from the host (see
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/dev/docs/tutorial_step6.md#how-presence-works
)

Regards.

  Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2020

[Sumit Srivastava]

Hi Ahmad,

Music Blocks is a fork of Turtle Blocks JS, which is a derivative of Turtle
Blocks, which is written in Python.
MB <-- TB JS <-- TB <-- Python
You can export Turtle Blocks code as Python code to directly run via python
interpreter leveraging libraries like GTK.

The aim is to provide similar functionality for Music Blocks. This means
the end result should be that you would be able to export Music Blocks as
JavaScript code that can be run without any external dependencies in the
browser.

PS: I've CC'ed sugar-devel mailing list here, feel free to join the mailing
list to stay in touch about the questions other people in the community are
asking about GSoC.
