====SWF activity launcher====
====SWF activity launcher====
<strike>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.'''</strike>
:Not directly related to Nepal deployment (I think), but Tomeu has been working on a gnash gtk widget called [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/swf-edit SWFEdit], there is some more information on his [http://blog.tomeuvizoso.net/2009/04/embed-flash-movies-with-gnash-in-your.html blog]. I'll try to put up some demo activities and drum up some interest once I've had time to play! [[User:Garycmartin|Garycmartin]] 03:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

====Web activity launcher & framework - DONE!====
Done - see [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/activity.md.html the tutorial] and [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-web the git.]


====Web activity launcher & framework====
<strike>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 Development Team, in addition to writing the launcher script.

====Maze collaboration====
====Maze collaboration====
Line 44: Line 46:
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. '''This project has been taken up by Tony Anderson.  He hopes to have an initial version done by Feb 22'''.

====Speak collaboration====
<strike>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.</strike> [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 13:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


====Document Process to Add instruments to TamTam====
====Document Process to Add instruments to TamTam====
<strike>Most deployments would love to add their native instruments to TamTam but have no idea how to get started. Documentation on how to do this is lacking in the TamTam wiki. If it is very technically challenging to add new instruments to TamTam, it would be great if someone from the Activity Team would volunteer to assist deployments in adding new instruments.</strike> see [[Activity_Team/Modifing_an_Activity#Modifying_TamTam|Modifying TamTam]]

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.

'''Note''': There are some activities that do not support the old toolbars, e.g., Edit. Should we be addressing this as well??
--I think we should address also backwards compatibility. so +1
to help modify these newer activities. --[[User:RafaelOrtiz|RafaelOrtiz]] 01:10, 31 May 2011 (EDT)
