FWIW, I'm planning to try it out for size on Labyrinth, and my (not  
yet released) Earth Activity, will see how it goes from there. My  
understanding is that Benjamin has only just got to a state where he  
feels other Authors could start using it.

I know what a python tuple is... what's a tuple export?

I have no idea, but I would certainly be happy to work with any of the
authors of those activities if they're interested in adding sharing (or
super-easy persistence) to their activities.

For V4, it may be interesting to add some tuple exports to the Journal as
well... Let's discuss it next time we bump into each other on IRC.

Congrats, I'm wondering if any of the games being developed for 4th
Grade Math would be easily modified to use GroupThink?

Or is already any real activity in the works?

[Sugar-devel] GSoC Update: SharedTextDemo-3

2009-06-22 Thread Benjamin M. Schwartz 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

SharedTextDemo-3 is available at
http://dev.laptop.org/~bemasc/SharedTextDemo-3.xo

This version introduces saving to and loading from the Journal.  The
contents of the textbox are saved to the Journal, and loaded back in when
you relaunch the program.  This may not sound like a very impressive
feature, but consider the source code of the activity (in its entirety):

"""
from groupthink import sugar_tools, gtk_tools
import sugar

class SharedTextDemoActivity(sugar_tools.GroupActivity):
def initialize_display(self):
self.cloud.textview = gtk_tools.SharedTextView()
return self.cloud.textview
"""

The self.cloud object takes care not only of sharing the TextView over the
network, live, but also of serializing it to disk on save, and
deserializing it on load.  At 6 lines of code, this system is finally
approaching a level of boilerplate I would consider acceptable for users
to build their own activities.*

In addition to working Journal persistence, this version also adds (very
simple) wait screens.  With wait screens, the user is not left at the
pulsing activity icon during slow actions, like loading a large journal
entry or joining a shared session.  Instead, the activity displays a
message informing the user of its current status as soon as possible after
launch.  Naturally, both automatic load/save and wait screens are
available to any activity using Groupthink, not just SharedTextDemo.

- --Ben

*: There is admittedly a tradeoff here between flexibility and magic.
self.cloud, providing magic load/save and sharing, will only accept
objects of appropriate type, drawn from the groupthink library.  This
means that users must code with an understanding of the types of the
objects they are using.

[Sugar-devel] GSoC update: Groupthink demo

2009-06-01 Thread Benjamin M. Schwartz 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I have produced a new demo activity, available at
http://dev.laptop.org/~bemasc/SharedTextDemo-1.xo .  It is a shared text
editing activity, running over the usual Telepathy collaboration system.
It does not save files.  It does not offer colors or fonts or any of the
richness of Write.  It is very slow, and probably buggy.  SharedTextDemo
is of interest only to developers, at present.  However, it is, I hope
very interesting to them.

SharedTextDemo uses an operational transformation engine that I have been
developing for several months, to provide completely decentralized,
asynchronous, reliable document editing.  Its algorithms are related to
those used by Google Wave, though surely less highly developed, and likely
much less efficient.

The editing algorithms are not my favorite aspect of the activity.  My
favorite thing about it is the API.  The following is the entirety of the
main .py file:

"""
from groupthink import sugar_tools, gtk_tools
import sugar

SERVICE = "org.sugarlabs.SharedTextDemo"

class SharedTextDemoActivity(sugar_tools.GroupActivity):
def __init__(self, handle):
super(SharedTextDemoActivity, self).__init__(handle, SERVICE)

toolbox = sugar.activity.activity.ActivityToolbox(self)
self.set_toolbox(toolbox)
toolbox.show()

self.cloud.textview = gtk_tools.SharedTextView()
self.set_canvas(self.cloud.textview)
self.show_all()
"""

12 nonblank lines, total.  Everything else is provided by the library.
Adding a shared TextView to an existing activity takes arguably a single line.

Groupthink is available at http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/dobject/
