High Impact Tasks

These are tasks which will have a big impact on Sugar deployments. This is your chance to affect thousands of children in the developing world! This section will be updated frequently to feature the most urgent work the Activity Team has to do.

SWF activity launcher

Not directly related to Nepal deployment (I think), but Tomeu has been working on a gnash gtk widget called SWFEdit, there is some more information on his blog. I'll try to put up some demo activities and drum up some interest once I've had time to play! Garycmartin 03:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks to Tomeu's work there is some examples now.

Web activity launcher & framework

Other deployments are using HTML+CSS+Javascript to make learning activities, but they currently have to be installed using the Library Collection feature of Sugar which is not well developed. We would like to build a 'web-activity' launcher script which allows Web based activities to be first class activities with icons on the home screens. This would involve making a new framework out of the source code to the Browse activity and submitting it upstream to the Development Team, in addition to writing the launcher script.

In progress. See Karma.

Maze collaboration

Maze is currently the most addictive multiplayer game on the XO, and it needs a further dusting of crack, including better statistics, handicaps, etc.

Quiz software

One of the top activity requests from deployments is a general purpose, collaborative Quiz activity. It should support creation of quizzes by teachers. It should support image, sound and text content, in the form of multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, etc. It should allow multiple students to take a quiz simultaneously by joining the activity. This project has been taken up by Tony Anderson. He hopes to have an initial version done by Feb 22.

I am still working on this - May 10 is current target date. Tony

Document Process to Add instruments to TamTam

Sugarize Scratch

Scratch has a huge following. If Sugar was the best or easiest way to use Scratch it would help our adoption. First step is getting it working on the latest version an put it up on the activity portal. Next is saving to the Journal and collaboration.

Activity Feature Requests

This section is for feature requests for specific activities. As requests, there can be no guarantee as to the order in which we will process them, but we will do our best.

If you are a new activity developer, there are many small tasks here which would be a great way to get introduced to the project.

Adding new Toolbars

Activity Git repo with patches Comment
Typing Turtle git://git.sugarlabs.org/~icarito/typing-turtle/typing-turtle-icarito.git DONE. Waiting for merge request.
StopWatch git://git.sugarlabs.org/stopwatch/stopwatch.git DONE. Moved Share and Keep buttons to main toolbar.
Help git://git.sugarlabs.org/~icarito/help/help-newui.git DONE. Put navigation in main bar (like in Browse).
Distance git://git.sugarlabs.org/distance/distance.git DONE by dirakx.
Maze git://git.sugarlabs.org/~icarito/maze/icaritos-mainline.git DONE. Moved Share to main bar.
Get Books git://git.sugarlabs.org/~icarito/get-books/icaritos-mainline.git DONE. Moved book actions to main toolbar.
Words http://git.sugarlabs.org/words-activity DONE. The UI can be improved.
Jukebox http://git.sugarlabs.org/jukebox/mainline/merge_requests/2 DONE.

Note: There are some activities that do not support the old toolbars, e.g., Edit. Should we be addressing this as well?? --I think we should address also backwards compatibility. so +1 to help modify these newer activities. --RafaelOrtiz 01:10, 31 May 2011 (EDT)

Ongoing Tasks

People are needed mostly for writing and editing, but there are many other ways of making a useful contribution. For example, simply pointing out errors (such as typos, grammar and spelling, and technical errors) is an extremely useful way to help.

Before you start contributing to the wiki, you should read the Wiki Guide for information on how to edit pages correctly. See the **Wiki Cleanup** page for tips on cleaning-up wiki pages.

Cleanup

The pages listed on Category:Cleanup are in need of a thorough cleanup.

These pages either:

Feel free to dive in. Tidy up a page and remove the Cleanup **tag**!

If you find a page that needs to be cleaned up, DO NOT add it here. Follow the instructions as laid out on the Tag page.

Organize

Much of our work is getting the wiki organized. We look through Special:Allpages to ensure that content is in the correct place

Coordinate

Coordination between wiki.laptop.org and wiki.sugarlabs.org.

Move content between w.s.o and w.l.o so that it lands in the most appropriate place.

Expand

Want to contribute your knowledge?

As an open source Wiki, we have a wide range of individuals working to help expand our resource, and we want your help.

Check out the list of articles with the Needs Expansion tag for articles that are formatted correctly, but simply need to be expanded to cover the full topic.

See the Community TODO list for more things that need doing.
