There are apparently a few facts from Plan Ceibal's deployment that
are not well known in the community. This surprises me, given that
some of you have been here in Uruguay and I was under the assumption
that you were well aware of these facts. I will refrain to give my

Well, we have the same problem at ceibaljam.org.
The thing is, these games are being uploaded by 13-yr old kids. They
discovered how to package activities in two ways:
1) using Pippy's "export as .xo" function. They download games from
pygame.org and copy them at the right place in one of Pippy's

Please, when you say Uruguay you should just say Plan Ceibal.
Has anyone formally requested Plan Ceibal to correct this situation?

Hi,
This is extremely cool.
I agree with Bryan that it would be great to have svg from the start.
I used a fixed bitmap image and then it became very difficult for
scaling. Now I'm working in zoomed-in versions for very local
information, and I need to draw a new map for each one of the zones.

Hi,
Whatever the decision on this topic is, I would appreciate that the
interests of the already installed base are taken into account. I agree that
the Activities/All page is outdated and ASLO has a much better interface.
However, at least here in Uruguay, most of the kids and teachers rely on

Well, yes,
Excuse me if I jump into this discussion. There is a problem here in
Uruguay related to this issue. Given the security system implemented
by Ceibal, users don't have root access. This makes it very difficult
to include changes in Sugar, like the clock described in the parent
post.
