Talk:Sugar Network/Concept

Network Zoom

Network Zoom levels only for projects might be, eg, not trivial to have Zoom levels for any kinds of resources, eg, every wiki page or every Gallery object at the same time, having levels only Projects might simplify the usage workflow as well.

Friends level was removed since it will be hard to implement it technically, at least in current design. --alsroot 04:40, 17 December 2011 (EST)

Project management

A special workflow for Objectives resources, especially for doers. It shouldn't be as simple as possible since only Project developers see it.

For that case, Project can have several owners, maybe would be better to rename all these Players to Project Team, but in this case it is exactly about close group of Players who know each other well and work well on Project internals.

Project's Objectives have two faces, one simple for users and one for Project developers.

Rates

Should rating system be complex, (-2,-1,0,+1,+2) or simple just "Like".

Just "Like" (though, I guess, it should be named somehow different, maybe "Sweet!") sounds more appropriate solution for the Sugar Network, it is simple and still useful. --alsroot 17:05, 13 December 2011 (EST)

How to calculate Player's reputation?

Counting the total amount of any contribution doesn't make much sense, e.g., people can spam in comments or a person who Release a Project version can't get the full benefit of this process (there are people who took part in preparing this release). Might be useful to count reputation only for contribution that was rated by people. --alsroot 17:25, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Might be useful to have, at least in addition, Player's rating related only to the current Project, e.g., to appreciate Players (theirs replies) who are well known exactly within the current Project. --alsroot 14:36, 14 December 2011 (EST)

Moderation

Leaving responsibility to the viewer is a good tradeoff to avoid overcomplicated workflows but definitely it needs custom moderation, e.g., by teachers. --alsroot 14:41, 14 December 2011 (EST)

Users Interface

Browser

Would be useful to add removable devices, e.g., USB sticks, to Zoom level selector. The reason is browsing Projects that are located on this removable device. For example it might be Sugar activities or Wiki Projects to activate them right from this removable device. --alsroot 04:47, 17 December 2011 (EST)
