=== Core Software ===
==== Speech Synthesis integration into Sugar ====
Integrate speech synthesis with all activities, not just [[Speak]], and provide for karaoke coloring. See [[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]]'s [http://www.olpcnews.com/content/ebooks/effective_adult_literacy_program.html article] on adapting [[Same Language Subtitling]] for literacy to the XO.
Desirable Features for Sugar Speech Synthesis Plugin:
* Provide Sugar Speech Synthesis Configuration Management Tool
* Karaoke Style Coloring in Sugar Environment
* UI for configuration Control
* Accent gets set on the basis of locale
==== Possible interest ====
===== Java =====
Package and integrate the IcedTea open source bootstrap of OpenJDK Java with browser plugin for the XO. Deliverables would include:
* Binary, source and rpm dependencies for icedtea and icedtea browser plugin
* Java enabled xo os image
* Integration of packages into autobuild branch
===== Print Support =====
Print support in Sugar would be useful in many scenarios. The ideal project deliverables would include
* Integration of a printing infrastructure (CUPS ??) into the XO-1 software images
* Modification of Sugar Control Panel to set up the printer (add/select default printer?)
* Modification of at least one activity (Write ?) to support printing
* Making a printing activity, that follows sugar GUI guidelines?
:I am highly interested in working on this project. Would the project leader mind contacting me at bmw.stx@gmail.com?
===== JavaScript-Python Communication =====
JavaScript Python Communication through the following strategies: PyXPCom, hulahop, and xulrunner.
