[Sugar-devel] Thank you for your efforts!

Hi All, I just want to say thank you to everyone on this list for all your efforts! :-) There are certainly many behind the scenes components that make up "Sugar Labs". Cheers! Devin ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org

We are skipping the main question here, Google Ad grants is based on keyword which SL would definitely join. But what i am saying is that, we need to have a youtube channel. SL is the only non-profit organization that i know of, that does not have a youtube channel. Even OLPC do have youtube

Yes Samson, the SFC fulfills these criteria. I am sure we would qualify. But as Adam says, let's sort out what we want to do first before going to the SFC. First step is a donor link which lands on their page with SL as prefilled choice. I suggest we try to go for Google Ad Grants, but this

Hi, Dave If, for example, I download War and Peace from Gutenberg to an XO, it will take storage space in the Journal. The space taken by this object should be shared among all users. However, a Write document should be private to the author. So the mechanism is the same. The datastore class

Hi, Sebastian I think the alert you are referring to required the user to supply a description for the object not a name. I gather you haven't tried the Browse-157 version he attached in his email The most recent is version 157-12. I feel it is meets the need in design and function. The

Utkarsh has made some feature pages but I am also losing track. Multiple users I believe is a much bigger question. The Sugar on Ubuntu uses the same login for Sugar as for Ubuntu - so each user is separately identified. However, on an XO, the activities belong to a single user - olpc. This

Re: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Name object on Activity exit revisited

Again, I have not been clear. The intent in the 'backup restore' option is that Journal objects such as Terminal and Log activities would be saved to a log directory on the school server and deleted from the local Journal (and so not appear at all). This means the statistical benefits of

Hi, Walter Apparently I am being very careless in writing. The intent of this feature is to require a title supplied by the user before the object is saved. If the user changes the title in the activity palette, as per the originial design, the 'save as' alert is not needed. If the user does

Hi Sebastian I am not proposing to re-enable that feature. The purpose is to enable the user to provide a title for the Journal object. Why are we not using the alert which Utkarsh has implemented for the fiddle save? It works. It looks good. He has the code in hand. Tony On 06/02/2016
