Activity Development questions

Where do I find information about implementing X in Sugar?

Check ActivityTeam/Resources for a comprehensive list of developer documentation, tutorials and support channels.

I have a question about Git, or Gitorious.

See ActivityTeam/GitFAQ for a specific FAQ about Git and Gitorious.

How do I upload my new activity to SugarLabs?

The best guide is ActivityTeam/How_to_migrate_from_OLPC, since that's where activities are coming from. As the infrastructure stabilizes and we get more new activities, we will post a new page.

How do I get my activity in the hands of students?

The absolute best way to get your activity out into the world is to attend an OLPC deployment meeting and suggest it to the deployment representatives. They can test your activity and offer feedback, and will ultimately decide whether it ships.

Another good way is to post and promote your activity on addons.sugarlabs.org. This will get your activity into the hands of the G1G1 community and can be a stepping stone to getting included in the Sugar on a Stick distribution and in OLPC deployments.

Help! I suddenly can't push to Gitorious!

The OSUOSL which hosts Gitorious has an aggressive IP blacklist policy. If you once were able to push but now cannot, send an email to support@osuosl.org requesting that your IP be removed from the blacklist.

Is there a Commits mailing list?

Instead of a commits list, we use the RSS feed at http://git.sugarlabs.org/events.atom. This tracks the activity (commits, branches, comments, merge requests) of all projects hosted on Gitorious.
