HoboPrimate: Added Screenshot of Scratch

Scratch is a highly engaging programming system that allows young students to create animated stories, games, interactive art, and simulations. Students use a drag and drop interface of "code blocks" to create sound, movement and actions to objects called "sprites."

You can download the Sugar version of Scratch at [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Scratch http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Scratch].

HoboPrimate: /* Program Members */ detailing a bit more my hardware entry

{{TOCright}}
== A SoaS Hardware Effort ==

=== What's this about ===

This attempt has been started shortly after the SoaS beta release on April 22nd and is focussed on tracking hardware compatibility with newer SoaS versions. The overall goal of this effort is to gather information about issues with various hardware configurations using [[Sugar_on_a_Stick|SoaS]]. So if you just came across an issue or want to help us by providing your hardware specs, please follow these instructions.

=== What we're doing ===

We're using the [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] project to keep information about the various systems. Smolt is a hardware profiler and has been introduced with [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Smolt Fedora 7]. Since then, also openSUSE has joined the project. We're working on creating an identifier for SoaS in the Smolt database.

Smolt basically helps you to submit your hardware information to a place, where people like us developers can check them out. Smolt development is hosted [https://fedorahosted.org/smolt/ here] and if you're worried about your privacy, you can have a look at Smolt's [https://fedorahosted.org/smolt/wiki/PrivacyPolicy privacy policy] here. Note that you can remove your hardware information at any time - instructions for this are also listed below!

== Next Steps ==

So. What's next? Here're the instructions:

# First of all, you'll need to download SoaS, which already includes Smolt. Please use the latest snapshot and ''not'' the beta for this! Here's the direct link: {{SoaS-2 path}}
# Boot into SoaS and start the Terminal Activity.
# Now you're ready to submit your hardware specs. For this, just call (as root): ''smoltSendProfile''
# It will ask you again if you're sure and will also give you a link to your profile and an admin password then. Please keep those!

Now that you've received the link to your hardware profile, please add it to the table below, as this will help us a lot to get an overview on which hardware SoaS is used on where issues occur. Note that with your admin password, you'll be also able to rate your experience with SoaS regarding the hardware support on your profile page. You can also provide it if you're filing a bug report on [http://dev.sugarlabs.org dev.sl.o].

What if you want to remove your information?
:Just type in the terminal (again as root): ''smoltDeleteProfile''

* Consider also reporting observations of your testing here, [[Sugar on a Stick/Getting Involved/Testing]].

HoboPrimate: added smolt hardware link

User talk:Wade/Unified Bundles

HoboPrimate: content viewer activities could gain "playlist" features and thus be more usefull than they currently seem to be

== Making FCAs inside other activities ==
An interesting idea which might be relevant to this proposal is the spawning of FCAs from other activities. The general idea is that I created this killer Etoys app and I want to share it with the world, not as a journal entry but as a activity itself. LFaraone 23:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

== Yet another scheme of implementing viewers ==
startup scripts(launchers) could be parts of sugar itself and contain only metadata about viewer activity.

It should mean that sugar all time has the full list of possible launchers. When user starts bundle with launcher mentioned in exec section, launcher will check if proper viewer activity is installed if it doesn't launcher will install it from ASLO, otherwise(for example in case of bad internet connection) distributor should preinstall these activities(anyway this case is only distribution specific).

In that case we have list of stable launchers(since they don't have much code) and in anytime we could download last version of viewer activity from ASLO.

[[User:Alsroot|Alsroot]] 06:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

== content viewers ==

content viewers should get the functionality of being made as slide-shows. For example, inside the jukebox activity, one should be able to add various media files, i.e., a playlist. It would appear in the journal as a jukebox activity. The same with image viewer, creating slideshows of images. Just some thoughts on the idea that launching new viewer activities, and these viewer activities could be usefull. [[User:HoboPrimate|HoboPrimate]] 19:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
