Hello!
My name is Steve Riggins and I am working on the Sophie project
(http://www.sophieproject.org). Along with Michael Rueger and Nick
Matelan, I have been charged with ramping up quickly on the
requirements for Sophie running on the XO. SJ mentioned that this
was a good place to do as such, so here we are. :)
We are very excited about the possibility of having a role in this
project! In order to determine the possibilities, here is a first
round of basic questions:
language support
---------------
* How many languages does the XO OS support?
* Are there input managers for getting multi-byte characters from
the user?
* Do you require right-to-left rendering for v1?
Authoring
--------
* Are you looking for both an Authoring tool as well as a Reader
on the XO, or only a Reader? (I like to be very clear about things)
Documentation
-------------
* How is documentation for software on the XO being distributed?
Fonts
-----
* If you would like to develop books for the XO on Mac/Windows/
Linux using Sophie, is requiring the author to use a specific font
set acceptable? Opposed to embedded any font in the book (bloating
books, etc)
Deliverables
----------
* When do you need a beta version?
* When is gold master to be delivered?
* What other milestones would you have for us?
Video/Movies
-----------
* Which video library are you supporting on the XO?
* If you would like to develop books for the XO on Mac/Windows/
Linux using Sophie, are there Mac/Windows versions of the library so
everything would be cross platform?
Storage Space
------------
* How much storage space would we have for the Application,
Preferences, caches, temporary files during authoring, etc?
