[Sugar-devel] TamTam Usage Patterns
I am in the process of trying to test the various TamTam activities (TamTam Mini, TamTam Edit, etc.) for the upcoming OLPC 11.2.0 OS release. Does anyone have any field experience with how popular and/or widely used the various TamTam activities are that can pass that information along so I know what to focus on? Pointers to resources on how to use the various programs also would be welcome. While some of them are relatively straightforward like TamTam Mini, others such as TamTam Edit leave me wondering how to use it properly (and I've used music notation editors like Rosegarden). --- SJG ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Dextrose] [AC Update] We are what we do.
"About pane" has a psychological effect, it provides recognition and maybe a sense of ownership for developers and mantainers. I will propose it on sugar-devel and the HIG once I've implemented a design. Also it gives a starting point for eventually getting involved in the development and improvement of each activity. The idea of an About dialog (or menu) already came up on sugar-devel, not long ago. IIRC, Gary Martin was quite opposed to increasing UI clutter with non-essential information. Perhaps we could still define a few meta-tags for activity.info and _not_ display them in the UI at all? They would still be easy to find for developers. You can show this info in view source mode and in the journal. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Further, please take into consideration not only the current maintainer of an activity, but also the original authors. With a bit of outreach and positive feedback, we could entice the original developers to re-engage. -walter > > -- > James Cameron > http://quozl.linux.org.au/ > ___ > Dextrose mailing list > dextr...@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/dextrose > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
