I didn't get much coding done last week but I did a fair bit of reading about i18n and how to best apply it to Karma -- you can read more here: http://karmaproject.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/i18n-issues/ There are other issues that i didn't touch on, such as how to store and retrieve localized answ

Hi, My understanding is that both GCompris and Teachermate have teacher admin functionality that let teachers view student progress etc. Is there a roadmap or plan for how we are going to bring that functionality into our Sugar-XS world? Thanks, Caroline -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove carol.

Can you possibly try csound 5.10.1 from F11 (same as SoaS). My understanding from various conversations about the difference between olpcsound and csound in Fedora was that it was forked because the version of csound was so old. That is no longer the case. Peter On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 9:15 PM, A
