==High Impact Tasks==<br />
These are tasks which will have a big impact on Sugar deployments. This is your chance to affect hundreds, if not 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.<br />
<br />
====Labyrinth====<br />
Labyrinth is a mind mapping activity. Gary C Martin is currently leading the port of this PyGTK program to Sugar, it's current at an alpha stag. Mind mapping software has been specifically requested by teachers at deployments. Labyrinth needs help improving and extending the user interface, so PyGTK skills would be important. Or, collaboration would be a great addition!<br />
<br />
====Typing Turtle====<br />
Typing Turtle is a touch typing activity with a turtle mascot. We are developing activity this with the Nepal and Afganistan deployments. Peru has also requested this activity as a high priority. TT is in pre-alpha but is close to its first release. Help is mostly needed testing and fixing the activity for use with foreign languages, and developing the lesson builder script. GUI programming experience is not critical, but Python skills and i18n knowledge, as well as the ability to work in a language other than English would be very useful.<br />
<br />
====Math====<br />
A request by the Peru deployment is simple math games. I have started working on some math puzzles with Peter Moxhay, based a suite of Java lessons he wrote in the past. These are very early in development but there are a lot of games to write. Also, examples are available, so it's really just porting and the work goes quickly.

<br />
====Maze collaboration====<br />
Maze is currently the most addictive multiplayer game on the XO, and it needs a further dusting of crack, including better statistics, handicaps, etc.<br />
<br />
====Speak collaboration====<br />
This has the potential to be an awesome communication method; not only a chat option for the blind but a way of teaching specific words, and a fun way to engage small clusters of people around an XO: sound carries well to people who aren't currently reading the screen.<br />
<br />
====SWF activity launcher====<br />
The Nepal deployment have created a suite of Flash based learning activities but are currently having to jump through many hoops to package them correctly. We would like to have a launcher which creates an activity window and launches Gnash in it, with a .SWF file. This launcher would then be used to easily make activity bundles out of SWF files.<br />
<br />
====Web activity launcher & framework====<br />
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 DevelopmentTeam, in addition to writing the launcher script. <br />
<br />
==Community Tasks==<br />
* <strike>Announce availability of ATeam contacts page to mailing lists. [[User:Wade|Wade]] 17:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)</strike><br />
* Query ATeam members about skills, interest, time commitment. [[User:Wade|Wade]] 17:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
* Look for at least one additional coordinator.<br />
* Contact former + current activity developers. [[User:Wade|Wade]] 17:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC) <br />
** Ask about moving activities to git.sugarlabs.org (or mirroring).<br />
** Ask about joining the ActivityTeam or coming to meetings.<br />

* Flesh out structure for ActivityTeam wiki.<br />
** Where does the Activities list from the SL home page go?<br />
** How should development information be structured?<br />
** In the (temporary) absence of activities.sugarlabs.org, should we create per-activity Wiki pages? Should we anyway?<br />
* Bug IT to add helpful "git-clone" hints like on: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=activities/help;a=summary and/or instructions for developing within sugar like:<br />
<pre><br />
git clone git://dev.laptop.org/users/wadeb/math<br />
cd math<br />
./setup.py dev<br />
<Ctrl-Alt-Erase><br />
</pre><br />
<br />

* Generate spec for Web, SWF activities and deliver to DevelopmentTeam.<br />
<br />
==Activity Feature Requests==<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Turtle Art===<br />
* move the show/hide blocks, erase, and stop buttons to the toolbar<br />
* add run and step buttons to the same toolbar<br />
* reconfigure audio initialization so that it only happens when TA starts up or gets sent to the background<br />
* don't let bricks get lost off the screen<br />
* add a special stack "hat" for "main" (tied to the run button above)</div>Bcjordanhttps://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Activity_Team/TODO&diff=14074Activity Team/TODO2009-01-12T20:23:55Z<p>Bcjordan: </p>

<div>=Activities.sugarlabs.org=<br />
Over the last several months, there have been on and off discussions about how to adapt the addons.mozilla.org server software to manage Sugar activities.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Information about Remora, the codename for a.m.o version 3, is at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Remora.<br />
<br />
== Why base a.s.o on a.m.o ==<br />
=== Pros ===<br />
* The function of a.m.o is exactly the same as the desired functionality of a.s.o.<br />
<br />
=== Cons ===<br />
* A.m.o is currently only used my mozilla.<br />
* A.m.o is written in cake-php (yet another web framework)<br />
<br />
== Installing activities.sugarlabs.org ==<br />
<br />
Mozilla.org runs a.m.o on CentOS5.0. For capability reasons these instructions will also use CentOS5.2.<br />
<br />
===Install centOS5.2 as server===<br />
It is handy to set up a development system as a server-gui in a virtual machine.<br />
<br />
===Set up Apache===<br />
Apache is pre-installed on CentOS.<br />
<br />
Configure Apache to start on system boot.<br />
<br />
<code><br />
chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on<br />
</code><br />
<br />

<br />
===Set up php===<br />
<br />
look for PHP5.1.6<br />
<br />
<code> <br />
rpm -q php<br />
</code><br />
<br />
look for php-gettext ( in php-common)<br />
<br />
<code><br />
rpm -q php-common<br />
</code><br />
<br />
install required php modules<br />
<br />
<code><br />
install php-pear<br />
install php-gd<br />
install php-mbstring<br />
<br />
pear config-set preferred_state beta <br />
pear install Archive_Zip<br />
</code><br />
<br />

<br />
<code>yum install subversion</code><br />
<br />
===Checkout amo trunk via svn===<br />
<code>svn co http://svn.mozilla.org/addons/trunk /var/www</code><br />

mysql -u root -p<br />
<br />
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'remora'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'remora'; <br />
</code><br />
<br />
===Populate tables===<br />
<code><br />
mysql -u remora -p -D remora </var/www/site/app/config/sql/remora.sql<br />
mysql -u remora -p -D remora-test </var/www/site/app/config/sql/remora.sql<br />
mysql -u remora -p -D remora </var/www/site/app/tests/data/remora-test-data.sql<br />
mysql -u remora -p -D remora-test </var/www/site/app/tests/data/remora-test-data.sql<br />
</code><br />
<br />
===Set up server===<br />
<br />
===Edit DocumentRoot===<br />
<br />
<code><br />

== About ==<br />
<br />
=== For developers ===<br />
<br />
This is a "new Sugar coders hackfest" evening, where people can come to learn about making Activities - bring a project you want to work on, and we'll have people from the core Sugar team around to help, teach, answer questions, run impromptu tutorials, and make tools/patches as needed to ease the entry route for new coders.<br />
<br />
=== For non-developers ===<br />
<br />
We're also looking for people who ''won't'' be coding that night to sprint with David Farning on community infrastructure setup. Problems to tackle include building a Newbie Welcome Wagon package, handling [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8630 licensing] of both content and Activity bundles, documentation and testing systems, and more.<br />
<br />
== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Sign up if you're coming, so we know how many to expect- tentatives and drop-ins are ok, but make things much harder to plan for. Also let us know (in parentheses) what you'll be doing!<br />

== Adopt a speaker! ==<br />
These are out-of-town speakers (and links to their proposals) who could present at Sugarcamp.<br />
<br />
''Please feel free to add anyone I've missed; I just compiled this quickly by scanning emails to [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/ devel@] and [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/ sugar@] with 'Proposal' in the title. If you're one of the listed developers, please add your location and the approximate cost of airfare, if you can determine it -- or remove yourself if you've made a proposal but aren't actually interested in attending, or can donate your own travel costs. I tried to roughly sort by number of proposals made (talks to be given).''<br />

<hr />
<div>This site is a wiki. It can and may be edited by anyone. Please edit responsibly. We hope that people can contribute their knowledge to the site. Sugar labs hopes to expand and explore with the Sugar UI and OS.<br />
<br />
== News Updates ==<br />
<br />
I know this is just the beginning, but I think a lot of other people might be as curious as I to know what is happening here on a more regular basis. I also know that most people are used to using email mailing lists for this sort of thing. However, since I maintain a general disdain for email, I thought it might not be too audacious to suggest a News page for the wiki here.<br />
<br />
It would be nice to know more about where things are going and follow discussions in HTML. It might also be nice to have regular updates on what Walter and other luminaries are thinking about the direction of this whole thing. I am quite excited about the direction this is taking (although it scared me quite a bit until this site appeared), but the general lack of information makes one uncomfortable. Thus, I am making this request.<br />
<br />

:See [http://lists.lo-res.org/pipermail/its.an.education.project/2008-May/000539.html Walter's message] from two days ago to the its.an.education.project mailing list. This wiki didn't exist more than about a week ago, but you can read the list archive via HTML [http://lists.lo-res.org/pipermail/its.an.education.project/ here].

<br />
== Wiki Theme ==<br />
<br />
Can I get a copy of this mediawiki theme anywhere? I love it. Will Sugar Labs release it to the public?<br />
: We are happy, that you like our Shikiwiki-theme: You can download it [http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Shiki_Wiki here]. --[[User:Helga|Helga]] 15:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== ParserFunctions needs to be installed ==<br />
<br />
Although the templates for translations have been copied over from laptop.org, they do not work correctly, since they depend on the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions MediaWiki extension '''ParserFunctions'''], which is apparently not installed/enabled for the SugarLabs wiki. The symptom of this is stuff with <nowiki>{{#if:</nowiki> in the displayed text (e.g. in the translation box on this main welcome page. This needs to be enabled by an administrator, and may even require installing software on the server.<br />
<br />
You can see that no extensions have been installed on this MediaWiki instance by looking at [[Special:Version]] and comparing it to [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Special:Version version] at laptop.org. [[User:Dupuy|Dupuy]] 15:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)<br />

==Time to block unregistered page creations?==<br />
We are getting multiple spam attacks per day now. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 17:50, 20 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
:I am afraid so. The mediawiki manual at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_anonymous_editing explaines how. [[User:Dfarning|dfarning]] 17:55, 20 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
