My problem with updating wikies is stated clearly by Paul Fox's email "icon assistance/validation" posted 2008-03-11 7:55 pm. "figuring out how to structure the icon "by documentation" isn't all that easy, either -- even though there are no fewer than 5 pages which describe parts of the process and guidelines." I find this to be a serious problem for me as well. I don't know which wiki to update. The XO has a large number of elements that need to be done correctly before an activity is read for dispersal into the wilds. My idea is to create a hello-world like activity that demonstrates a minimal activity that covers all of the bases. I am plugging away on it as we speak. I call it "OpenWorld.activity". :-) > > > I am assuming that there are two ways to go with python at this point, > > OLPCGames and OLPCGTK.

I decided to start with PyGTK since it seemed to me that the example would be a little clearer to follow than it would be in PyGames. This is going to help me have a base for later projects that I want to develop. I will want to make what I learn available to others but I have yet to work that out. I would like a single wiki that tells me what I need to know to develop an activity but I don't see how that can happen. So that is what I am doing. Maybe others can tell me a better way to proceed. > > Hope it helps, > > Tomeu _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
