[Sugar-devel] wiki.sugarlabs.org ongoing maintenance

[Bernie Innocenti]

Today a serious security hole was announced for MediaWiki, so I started
a long overdue upgrade of our main wiki.

Our wiki has grown quite large and the upgrade from Mediawiki 1.19 to
1.20 required several slow steps, so unfortunately I had to leave before
fixing up the local wikis.

Meanwhile, please test login and editing and report any problems.
Tomorrow I'll try to find some time to cleanup any remaining fallout.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [sugar TamTamJam development]

[Jared]

Hello all, my name is Jared and I'm currently working on contributing to 
the TamTamJam sugar activity as part of an assignment for my university. 
I was wondering if any one on the mailing list has contributed to the 
project, or could provide some assistance with a current error I'm 
having. I apologize if I have gone about asking  incorrectly and for 
wasting your time, but all help is greatly appreciated. The following 
link contains the error on paste bin .

Re: [Sugar-devel] Hacking on HTML activities UI (was Re: GSoC 13)

[suraj ks]

Ok,

In a nutshell,
These are the tasks for this project.

Going by the way Lionel suggested,
Create a sugar activity with full screen web view control.
Modify the current  js framework and make use of "native features" to be
able to write html activities in Sugar.


Lionel mentioned,

"The step 1 need only to map a set of JavaScript
functions to a set of Sugar functions. Once the list of Sugar functions is
write, it’s not very complex to do."

So find those functions and tweak them to support the same.

And of course, work on the UI part.

Please correct if I'm wrong.

Also, how are we going to get the JS and Sugar to communicate without the
console?

I reads/writes to ./data/... which is not very robust in Sugar. Please use

Thank you for the suggstion. I followed it and uploaded a new version to
sugarlabs. I hope everything is OK, otherwise please let me know.

Great -- don't hesitate to use my repository, I can give you write
access if that's easier than pull requests.

FYI, I will convert the update of the sugar manual in the olpc wiki [1] to
rst
to generate new content for the Help activity.

I will be working on this today and tomorrow probably.

Just to update you, today I heard from Buddhika, it's about the wysiwyg
editor for Mallard. Foiefras [1] is archived and no longer in development.
According to Buddhika only phase 1 of the editor is completed. I just
tested it installed, it supports only the basic Mallard syntax.

[Sugar-devel] Request for ideas regarding Project Sharing Website

[Abhiroop Bhatnagar]

Hello everyone,
I am a BTech student at IIT Kanpur in India. I am interested in
contributing to Sugar. I think GSoC projects can be a good starting point
for me.
Specifically, I am interested in working on the Project Sharing Website.
Apart from the features listed on the GSoC page, I would like suggest some
features from my own side which I think might be helpful:

Searching for people who are using Sugar in nearby areas.
Commenting on shared projects.
Grading of kid submitted projects by teachers.

I would really like to know the community's views on these.

Also, I was wondering whether running Sugar Activities on the website would
contribute to the cause of Sugar or not. I think that is an interesting
idea because then these activities will be able to reach out to a larger
population.

I headed the project www.DekhoShop.com, which involved creating a website
with social networking features between different types of usergroups. I
had worked extensively on Joomla, which is a free and open-source CMS(built
on php and mysql) and had implemented many of the features that this
project requires. Hence, I believe that I will be able to handle this
project very well.

Also, the GSoC ideas page lists MrSteve as the contact person for this
project but the user does not exist on the wiki. I would be really grateful
if someone could help me in this regard. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Abhiroop Bhatnagar
