[Sugar-devel] friendview.py
Hi all, Have just cloned http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline and have encountered a fixme in /sugar/src/jarabe/desktop/friendview.py: def _buddy_activity_changed_cb(self, buddy, ps_activity=None): if not ps_activity: self._remove_activity_icon() return # FIXME: use some sort of unknown activity icon rather # than hiding the icon? name = self._get_new_icon_name(ps_activity) if name: self._activity_icon.props.file_name = name self._activity_icon.props.xo_color = buddy.get_color() if not self._activity_icon_visible: self.append(self._activity_icon, hippo.PACK_EXPAND) self._activity_icon_visible = True else: self._remove_activity_icon() I am assuming something generic like a question mark would be fine. Where should that file live? Is it okay in the core sugar directory? Naturally, people will probably want to click on that question mark. Would we be able to have a dialogue like Search for activity %s? % name, which if accepted opens up Browse and searches http://activities.sugarlabs.org to download it? This would be easiest if you can p2p file share activities... I've played around a bit, but it doesn't look especially obvious. Thoughts appreciated :) timClicks ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

That would be about ten times better than the current behavior. This would be easiest if you can p2p file share activities... I've played around a bit, but it doesn't look especially obvious. Yes, that would be, by far, even better. It shouldn't be incredibly difficult, since Telepathy provides us with a high-level file transfer operation, but there's still some code required to (1) request the transfer, (2) create a bundle if necessary, (3) transfer the bundle, (4) install the bundle, and then (5) launch it. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] friendview.py
Yeah, P2P activity sharing would be awesome. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Almanac/Activity_Bundles says Activities are meant to be shared between children. If a child doesn't have the activity, it is automatically transfered to the child when he or she joins the shared activity. but I don't believe this was ever implemented...? -Wade On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 9:35 AM, Benjamin M.

Automatic activity sharing has been the plan for years now, but has never been implemented. For a while this was because there was no good way to transfer large files over Telepathy, but this has now been resolved, and it is simply waiting on someone willing to dive in. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

To me, it sounds like the first step in building either of these systems (automatic p2p transfer, download from browse) is figuring out a way to publish the activity icon so that we DON'T have to show a question mark. I would much rather show the icon for the activity that the child doesn't have, and perhaps badge it in some way to indicate that they don't yet have it. This seems desirable regardless of which solution we choose to download the activity. Eben -Wade On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 9:35 AM, Benjamin M.
