I'm deeply fearful^W^Wproud to announce the first version of the CC licensing activity. Let me give you all some background, and then scar you all with a link.
One of the core activities of the Creative Commons organization is getting software (apps and platforms) to support metadata showing and searching when viewing files that contain Creative Commons licenses as well as letting users CC-license their files. We have been chatting with OLPC about some sort of integration for some time; indeed, one of our summer interns was tasked with working on it. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creative_Commons has the old brainstorming. What we've converged on is an activity with a comic, to be translated widely, that an XO activity will show, as well as letting the kids play with a license chooser. That license chooser UI will probably show up again in the control panel; probably the license chosen there will be the default if they choose to CC license other work they create. That summer intern wrote a patch some time ago to let CC licenses be chosen in the journal, which is in the old ticket https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3529 . ENOUGH ALREADY! WHAT IS THIS ACTIVITY? --------------------------------------- It's: * A first-run disclaimer, to be considered by our legal staff who have conerns like the possibility of under-18 people doing licensing, * A simple back-forward viewer of a comic, with text at the bottom, and * A license chooser widget available in the Navigation menu. * available at http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/olpc/License_1.xo * appallingly large, which I work on soon * trackable in gitweb: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/cclicensing;a=summary KNOWN BUGS? ----------- Of course. The license chooser's first time loading is very slow, and it writes to ~/.license/ , which is bad news for the impending security review of activities (I'll fix both soonish). YOUR HELP? ---------- Two questions: 1. As you click "back" and "forward", the screen is sort of "jerky", and the text widget seems to appear on the screen twice for a moment. Is there a way to make this smoother? 2. How do I make the "Navigation" menu selected by default on application startup? It seems the Web activity does this, but I can't quite figure out how (indeed, I used it as a reference for making this activity). YOUR TAKE? ---------- Please take a look at this thing and let me know what you all think. Within the week, we're going to be putting the comics+text up on the web in a convenient format for reading and commenting; consider this a preview of that. -- Asheesh. P.S. Thanks Alex, Jon, and Rebecca for making the comic! P.P.S. The all-caps are section titles, not me shouting! P.P.P.S. Thanks all on this list for being so pleasant and responsive to my questions over the past few weeks! -- Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can read. -- Mark Twain _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
