Hi, Sam
Excellent proposal. We should solicit community input on additional
items which experience users need to learn to get comfortable with using
the XO.
I think your implementation involves too much programming. Perhaps a
youtube style screencast walkthroughs and posters would be an alte
Hi All,
Sugar has a novel user interface, with lots of beautiful and logical
things. However, there are some important elements (such as the frame or
journal) that are not familiar or intuitive to new users. This is an
issue, as sugar currently relys upon exploration as our only user
onboarding
Hi, Walter
I sent you an email with the results of my testing of the gci
activities. I am having ipv6 troubles with
gmail. When I sent the mail through the olenepal (gmail) account - it
didn't bounce, but I don't know
if it went through.
This problem started Dec. 9 and apparently only affects
Tony,
I have been lurking on these mailing lists for the past few years but
haven't made any contribution to Sugar in that time. You may recall that I
wrote a couple of FLOSS manuals for OLPC, and strangely enough that led me
away from the project, because it convinced me I had a future as an auth
Quozi,
Could you please test the lastest bits at
https://github.com/walterbender/physics to see if it fixes the problem on
XO1.5?

Tony, if you have a list of activities that need porting to GTK3, please
let me know: it makes for nice GCI projects. That is how, in fact much of
the updating happened over the past few years.

You need not know the details of how the parts of a code eco-system is
divided in order to help:
Hi, Jonas
I guess you see how far out from the developer community I am. I
associate sucrose with Activity Central. I am not sure what a sucrose
developer is.
The involved developers have been doing well. However, for many of the
activities in ASLO, the original contributors have moved on, a n

Hi, Jonas
True - either that or ditch the activities evidently too badly
maintained to work well with modern Sugar.
Aye, There's the rub!
Is the problem 'bad maintenance or none at all' or 'modern' Sugar.
Certainly TuxMath is suffering from 'abandonment'. However, even
abandoned code continue

I would call it examples of _unmaintained_ software.
I.e. in my opinion for these examples the Sugar environment does the
right thing of both a) moving to GTK+ 3.x while b) providing legacy
support
Hi, Jonas
Yet more examples of this broken software problem. I have scripts which
provide the 'bad and ugly' codecs for GStreamer 0.10 which work very
well. I have
had to regress to Jukebox 26 in order for this to work, but it performs
well. I have been unable to find where these codecs go for

Thanks - a hassle indeed, but urgently needed not only for
collaboration:
* GStreamer 0.10 (tied to GTK+ 2.x) is deprecat

Hi, Sam
Thanks. That sounds like enough to get me going. Sadly, this also means
porting to gtk3 but it will need to be done anyway.
Yours,

Hi Gonzalo,
I agree with your perspective that we do need to make the wrapper the best
it can be before locking ourselves into it. That is a good plan.
I'm not sure what you mean about adding a parameter to the setup method.
Could you please elaborate?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Tony,
Sorry that I was a bit vague in the previous email. The collab wrapper is
not yet merged into sugar-toolkit-gtk3, however can be used by activities
by copying a script and including it in their activity.
The collabwrapper script is available here:
