* Polish "Try it" wiki page with all possible methods how to try the Sugar Network and explaining the difference between Web access and local client applications http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network#Try_it * A way to try all Sugar Network features (Web access have restrictions) by installing "Sugar Network" activity in regular Sugar installation: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Sugar_Network * Contributor Hub activity was added to the Sugar Network This method will bring all local client application features in addition to Web based Contributor Hub * Process dependencies while launching activities from the Sugar Network from local client applications; activity dependencies will be resolved and, if there is such need, installed using PackageKit. On XO laptops (when yum PackageKit backed might take too many resources, use presolve PackageKit backend http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/packagekit-backend-presolve#Usage right now, the only dependency is sugar itself (set while uploading activities to ASLO) to prevent launching inappropriate activities; but, it is possible to add new activity dependencies as well http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network/Submit_activities#Dependencies == Web UI == * Information notices for content published on the Network. For the time being only "Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 Unported" is offered. * New dialogs for "New Project" and "New Resource" * First implementation of a system for synchronizing resources shared in offline mode. == Contributor Hub == * New, more compact, look&feel * While navigating within the Contributor Hub, it change the url in Web browser's status bar; so, it is possible to, e.g., bookmark the current position in browser * Upload Content resources accessible only from http://network-devel.sugarlabs.org/hub/ (where anonymous users have administrative privileges) or from local client applications http://network-devel.sugarlabs.org/hub/?content&content-new * Upload Journal objects to activity galleries, e.g., http://network-devel.sugarlabs.org/hub/?activities&org.laptop.TurtleArtActivity&gallery accessible only from local client applications * Launch activities and gallery objects hover over the particular activity or gallery object and click green play button accessible only from local client applications * Download activities, gallery objects and content hover over the particular object and click green download button for local client applications, download button is replaced by launch button == Sugar Shell plugin == * Dialog for submitting failure reports was moved to the Shell plugin from Web UI; so, it will be possible to report activity errors even if Web UI is not started == API == * Subscribe to Sugar Network node events http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/API#Notifications Events will be served using HTML5 Server-Sent Events mechanism * Client side functionality http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/API#Local_access When API provided by a Sugar Network node should be enough in most cases, there are features that can be implemented only from client side, e.g., launch Sugar Network activities by one click or Journal integration for easy sharing objects. * Handy command-line utility to work with API http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/API#Usage == Objects model == * Differentiate original authors and maintainers See "Resource.author" on http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Objects_model that is useful when content was uploaded by not original authors or when authors were not registered in the Sugar Network: http://network-devel.sugarlabs.org/hub/?content&b2cceea8321e11e2a2b40016360ee2af&content-users there are also special API commands to manage users: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/API#Authorization * New Report resource (was extracted from Feedback) with possibility to set review rating (like on ASLO) == Try the release == Follow the "Try it" wiki page: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network#Try_it See Sugar Network usage tutorial created by Thomas C Gilliard: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network/Tutorial == Credits == * People in the field for exposing a need, in such kind projects, and interest in testing. * World wide community members who donated funds to make full time working possible. * People from mailing lists and IRC channels who are helping in development process. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
