====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)

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'''.

:I am still working on this - May 10 is current target date. Tony

~~====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====

<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>

* <strike>Move the show/hide blocks, erase, and stop buttons to the toolbar</strike>

* <strike>Add run and step buttons to the same toolbar</strike>

* <strike>Reconfigure audio initialization so that it only happens when TA starts up or gets sent to the background</strike>

* <strike>Don't let bricks get lost off the screen</strike> AFAIK, this can only happen now in obscure corner cases.

* <strike>Add a special stack "hat" for "main" (tied to the run button above)</strike>

* <strike>Merge with TA with sensors.</strike>
