Changes

These are tasks which will have a big impact on Sugar deployments.  This is your chance to affect 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.

====Quiz software====

====SWF activity launcher====

One of the top activity requests from deployments is a general purpose, collaborative [[Activities/Quiz|Quiz activity]].  It should support creation of quizzes by teachers. It should support image, sound and text content, in the form of multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, etc.  It should allow multiple students to take a quiz simultaneously by joining the activity.

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. '''Nepal is freezing their deployment image in mid-Feburary and extensively uses Flash based activities.  We could really use some movement on this task.'''

====Speak collaboration====

====Web activity launcher & framework====

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.

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.

====Maze collaboration====

====Maze collaboration====

Maze is currently the most addictive multiplayer game on the XO, and it needs a further dusting of crack, including better statistics, handicaps, etc.
