When I give a talk about Sugar, one of its main features is "Clarity".
The idea is to avoid saying "simplicity" because it may seem in
conflict with our goal of low floor, no ceiling.

I then explain that with clarity I mean that the features are layered
in such a way that it's clear to the user how to do what she wants to
do in each moment.

Hi Gary,

OK I just made a screenshot. You can download it from this location.

http://www.abisource.com/~msevior/AnnotationSS.jpg

The popup appears when you hover the mouse over the purple dotted line
which shows that region of text has an annotation. Sorry the gimp
removes the mouse marker when it takes the screenshot.

The whole UI has more features. You place an annotation by selecting
text and choosing "annotation" from either the "tools" menu or from
the right click contaxt menu. If you right click on the annotated
region you can pop up the annotation dialog which allows you alter the
annotation or replace the current text with the content of the
annotation.

To really see how the UI works though it is best to actually try it.
Most recent versions of linux carry abiword 2.8. Even Ubtuntu!
If you run windows you can download it from here.

http://www.abisource.com/download/

Cheers

Martin

PS. Yes I use AbiWord all the time in day job :-)

I think the main point of the annotation feature for Write will be
allow teachers to correct children's writing.

They can simply highlight a region and put in their correction or
suggestion. Children can see the correction along with their original
text. In abiword we do this with a dialog and a popup textbox but
we've disabled dialogs in Write. I'd be interested in receiving
suggestions for how to do this UI for Write and if it is wanted at
all.

Maybe this question would be better on IAEP or SUR because its about  
pedagogy more than technology?


More features just for features sake is not a good idea, Sugar is an  
educational tool not an office productivity tool, not all new office  
features need to be included. I would like to hear from teachers on  
this question. They might, for example,  like annotation in a  
paperless classroom as a way of marking essays.


I agree, we should try harder to layer complexity, in line with the  
goal of low entry and high ceiling.


I think that children handle complexity and incomplete information  
much better than adults so its not necessary to give them cut down  
versions of Activities. As long as they can ignore features that they  
do not need and still get unobstructed access to the simplified  
features they are happy. Adults however are more likely to get  
stressed if presented with too many features.


I looked at Calculate again. I am happy with the features. You can  
still do 9+1=10 by ignoring the extra features. None of the menus  
obscure simple calculator operation. If you select hexadecimal then  
9+1=0xa but quitting and resuming reverts to decimal operation so it  
seems experimenting is likely to be harmless to simple calculator use.


I share some responsibility for encouraging feature creep on  
TurtleArt. Maybe complexity could be layered better but I dont thinks  
it needs a version with it disabled. The goal should be that basic  
blocks, repeat, forward, right, are the ones most obviously presented  
to the learner and no amount of random clicking should make them not  
discoverable. Maybe the pallettes can be reordered to emphasise  
beginner blocks.


With write, the goal would be to emphasise the beginner tools and  
deemphasise the advanced features, and make recovery from random  
clicking easy.

And Turtle Art, for that matter. I am working on a very stripped down
version, Tortugita, which is more in the spirit of the original goals.
That said, I think the "family of activities" approach taken by TamTam
is a nice way to give the learner headroom as they advance in terms of
skills and ambitions.

True, but only if you promise that the Write UI will get easier to use and not 
more difficult ;) I think we're falling towards featureitus while not managing 
complexity. Same thing is happening to Calculate.

FWIW, in the Calculate case, I've been considering the need for a really simple 
calculator activity called Sums, with a very minimal feature set**. Perhaps we 
could do the same for Write and have a minimal feature set activity called Note 
(or Text if you don't mind that modern verb usage)? It would just be a simpler 
wrapper over the Abiword libs.

Still not sure this is the right way to go to keep Sugar usable for our younger 
learners (where I think Sugar is most ideally placed), as having multiple 
Activities for the same activity does introduce additional maintenance, and 
testing load. 

** Ideally we should try harder to better layer complexity in the Write, 
Calculate, et al UIs so that you need to drill down to the more complex 
features while the common/novice features are exposed early at the top level — 
but it seams there's only so far you can take this (Write and Calculate being 
on the cusp of this cliff edge).
