As many of you know, I've been working on a handbook for creating Sugar Activities and I have added another couple of chapters to it (on Pootle and distributing your Activity) and made numerous corrections to earlier chapters, many of them based on suggestions you made. Stuff still to do:
Text To Speech chapter Collaboration chapter Sugar Activity Debugging chapter (which may include information on using a library Walter Bender created for running Sugar Activities outside of Sugar) New Style Toolbars chapter (including how to support both styles in one Activity) PyGame chapter or chapters The sequence these chapters will appear is negotiable. For now I'm just trying to get them written, going from easiest to hardest. I have not been able to get a pre-publish done so the website link I gave out last week still points to the old content. However, I have been able to use OBJAVI to create a really beautiful PDF 73 pages long (including code samples and screenshots) that has the latest content. I think there is enough written so far that if I got run over by a bus someone could still use this to learn how to write an Activity. If you have thought about writing your own Activity you might check this out with Read and see if you agree. Other kinds of feedback would be most welcome as well. The URL of the PDF is: http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/ActivitiesGuideSugar-en-2010.01.11-23.05.32.pdf Thanks, James Simmons _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
