Hmmmm, perhaps there are some other simple tasks we can come-up with for the Activity Team? > - reviewing Activities Yes I like this! It's a good way to get to know what's out there already. There are a couple of places I feel reviews should be going: 1) For reviews aiming at other users, at http:// activities.sugarlabs.org each Activity supports a 1-5 star rating, a comment field, and if you want, there is also a 'detailed review' submission form. This should be the place to go if you want to provide feedback for other Sugar users (kids/teachers/parents/the rest of us) to see. These input forms are not used that much yet, so if you do find any bugs or incorrect Mozilla text, please open a ticket on dev.sugarlabs.org and use the component "activities.sugarlabs.org" so we can get it fixed. 2) For general reviews of a more technical nature (more aimed at other developers than users), most currently supported Activities have an http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/ <activity_name> wiki page. A "Reviews" section could be added at the bottom of an Activities page; I think it would also be good to email such feedback directly to this list so that other developers can easily make use of it. 3) For specific Activity developer bugs/feature-requests/suggestions, the very best place is to open a trac ticket (dev.sugarlabs.org), or if that looks too scary, email to this list (sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org ) and someone will file it for you. > - writing instruction-sets/PR-materials ? You might also want to look at http://en.flossmanuals.net/Sugar if the goal is more 'book like' releases of static information. Alternatively more general/dynamic instructions could probably go to the http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/ <activity_name> wiki page for each Activity (and could easily be picked up again at a later time if static 'book like' snapshots need to be pulled together for some formal release set of activities). > - Roadmaps for LocalSugarLabs (creating UserBase) Is this aimed at finding other interested local developers, you know for beer and high bandwidth hacking time? > Can I shuffle a bit on the TODO list to make more easy for new coming > people?
