Re: [Sugar-devel] Network version of Abecedarium: why and how
Hi Tom, Very good idea! Dont tested but yes it should works. The WebView already reference the home page using file://bundlepath/html/index.html. I dont see any reason it cant access local images on USB key. Of course, it require one USB key for each XO. Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Network version of Abecedarium: why and how
Hi Gonzalo, Hmmm, interesting. Youre right its a good way to explore to reduce the package size. Plus, most of the times images are displayed in the game at maximum 70% of the real size. So, Im not sure reducing quality will be visible. Im going to try. About list of contents, it could be find here: [1]. Best regards from France. Lionel.

Hi, Lionel Besides any other optimizations, for a really quick and remorseless fix, you can run your images through Trimage, http://trimage.org/ , which uses some lossless compression libraries and seems to work nicely with your png resources (see attachment for an admittedly too small sample of results from your files, with impossible recursion added for fun).

One issue with this activity is that, due to number of contents (1500 images and sounds), its size is about 100Mo. ** ** We want to deploy the activity on our Nosy Komba deployment this year: 150 XO-1 and 50 XO-1.5. Because we’ve got other activities to deploy, we compute: **- **The free space on a XO-1 and XO-1.5 with Sugar 0.96 without any activity: 550 Mo for XO-1, 2645Mo for XO-1.5. **- **The size of all activities that we planned to install, see the spreadsheet [1]. Unfortunately 100 Mo is too big for the XO-1 with some other big activities (GCompris, Tuxmath, TurtleArt, Speak, …). ** ** So I choose to develop a new version named “Abecedarium Net” [2] without any content included, so with a size of only 6Mo. The idea is to deploy all contents on a school/web server instead of into the activity. A config file in the activity has to be set with the URL of the content, or it could be set from a dialog popup. The activity test the network regularly and display the status. Because Abecedarium is wrote in HTML5, deploying the web server just mean to copy the content of the full activity on the server. I’ve explained the full process in the activity description. I will test it myself on our School Server at Madagascar but do not hesitate in the meantime to test it and give me feedback. ** ** Best regards from France. ** ** Lionel. ** ** [1] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApkC1NVMZoZodDg5em1vaS04VC1vSDdoZ1Z5SHNJUXc#gid=0 [2] http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en/sugar/addon/4661 ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
