A set of tools that will help you start working with Karma quickly

This is what is contained in the repository at http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/karma/

Karma XO bundle

• similar to E-Paath layout and uses the standard Sugar bundle structure
• It is still undecided whether karma will default to using Browse which is based on Firefox or Surf which based on webkit (Safari/Chrome). Surf requires that you install the rpms for pywebkitgtk and webkitgtk

             teachersNote.html
             start.html     (start page)
            

• Notes:

1. {langCode} represents the lang code and country code
2. which will be the template language for assets/docs/* ?, English suggested
3. suggestion: rename assets/{langCode}/docs/ to docs/{langCode}/ . This is based that at this moment there are no other kind of files under assets/ than 'docs'

The following is out of date but kept for history

Reading, Game and Exercise

consist of a single 'reading', 'game' or 'exercise'

• Notes

1. {type} represents 'game' or 'exercise' or 'reading'
2. does docs/ is used?
