What about the expandable library section on the home page for downloaded .xol's? It's nifty and useful ( http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/574 ). The recent discussion about this ('content bundles and the "OLPC Library" Browse home page') devolved into discussing a replacement for them, but .xol files exist now. Are they not going to work in Sugar 0.8x until a "Grand Unification" of activity and content is coded?
The code in /usr/share/library-common/make_index.py on an XO that rebuilds the library each time you download a collection also has the template code to make the home page. It seems to support localization of the home page as well. Sean DALY wrote: > My memory of the XO G1G1 Browse page was that there was a link to > Help, but looking at it I see that there wasn't. Help is an activity, and as I recall in 2008 discussions on olpc-dev people said Browse cannot launch activities without adding Mozilla mime type handlers and/or relaxing Rainbow security. However, Help is just an instance of Browse's WebView that opens <path to Help activity>/help/X_Introduction.html. So another thing that a make_index.py script could do is look for the Help activity and if found add a Browse the (local) Help files link to this home page. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Library#How_it_works has notes on how library-common works. I think someone with moderate skills[**] could revive it and kill three birds (generate home page, add content links as you download collections, and add a link to the Help activity's files if present) with one stone.. http://dev.laptop.org/git/library/library-activity/tree/library-common [**] but more than me! :-/ Cheers, -- =S Page _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
