[Sugar-devel] Help Pippy to get independent
Hi, there is a lot's of examples (core code probably as well) in Pippy that are XO dependent. The dimensions in the pong game, the camera example etc So for people looking for ways to contribute that might be a good starting point.

Tomeu Vizoso wrote: [adding back sugar-devel to cc] Sebastian, can we add this driver to Soas2? Regards, Tomeu Heh. That issue goes in the same direction as our multimedia-support discussion. The driver isn't included in the kernel, and that way not in Fedora. Now I guess we could pull it from RPM Fusion (a third party repository), but I'm not sure if we would run into legal (or any other) trouble that way... Somebody suggested some time ago to get the Fedora maintainers to include some module related to wifi on the Classmate-PC in the kernel, as they're allowing stuff on a case-by-case basis. But normally, it seems to be 'it's not ready for the mainline kernel, so it's not ready for Fedora'. Don't get me wrong, I think we should really try to get this working (both the EeePCs, as well as the Classmate-PCs), also as those might turn out to be good to showcase, but in this case I'm just not sure. --Sebastian On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 16:30, Dave Bauer d...@solutiongrove.com wrote: I checked and it looks like its not built in.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Unified bundles
Wade, Since two of my Activities are referred to by name in your proposal I suppose I should have an opinion on it, but I don't fully understand the proposal. It sounds like you want to mix content and Activity in the same bundle. So I guess you could write some sort of presentation using HTML and JavaScript and bundle it up like an Activity that contains a pointer to the Browse component needed to use it? You mention that Activities like Read, Read Etexts, etc. don't create content, and thus are not like real Activities. That is currently true, but lately I've been thinking of adding an Annotation feature to Read Etexts which would let the user attach notes to individual pages of the etext, as well as highlight passages with a yellow background (like marking up a book with a hi-lighter pen). The notes and highlight coordinates would be stored in as a collection of objects which would be pickled and the pickle file would be stored in a Zip file along with the original etext. So students assigned to read an etext could create their own content in the form of notes and highlights and share these with other students along with the text. Acrobat allows you to annotate PDFs so maybe Read could support this one day too. Originally Read and the rest did not appear in the Activity ring, and the only way to launch them was to resume a Journal entry with the supported MIME type. This was a source of frustration to me because my own Activities make use of Zip files and there are at least three Activities that use them: Read Etexts, View Slides, and Etoys. I was constantly launching Etoys when I wanted to launch one of my own Activities. What I really wanted was to have my documents display the icon of the Activity needed to read that and launch that Activity when resumed. Having the Activity launched from the ring and open that ugly dialog solved that problem for me in two ways: 1). I never had to worry about opening the wrong Activity. 2). When I exited the Activity it created a brand new Journal entry with my Activity icon, exactly how I wanted it to be. I could delete the original Journal entry and resume the new one. So yeah it's ugly, but it gave me a way to do something I really wanted to do. What would be nice is if the Journal let you specify a default program to open a given Journal entry that otherwise would only be known by its MIME type. I could download a Zip file from Gutenberg, then open the Journal entry information page. Right now the launch button shows a menu of all the Activities that can be used to open it and you pick one from that menu. But what if there was a similar menu that let you choose the default Activity, and once you chose it that icon was used for the entry in the Journal? Zip files used in Etoys could be given the Etoys icon, slide collections the View Slides icon, etc. I'm not sure why I'd want a content bundle that worked the way you describe Slides Content Viewer and Etexts Content Viewer. Etexts contained in Zip files can already be downloaded from Gutenberg, and slide collections are just images in a Zip file. It takes some work to create these, but less than creating a bundle would be. I could see the point of an HTML bundle. Gutenberg has books with illustrations in HTML format and making a bundle would give you a way to read these offline.

It diverged somewhat into a plan to recast activities which do not support actually creating anything as Content viewers. Those are ones like Read, Read Etexts, View Slides, Jukebox, etc. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Unified_Bundles Comments welcome! -Wade ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
