This list was brainstormed as ideas for High School student groups, however, its totally appropriate for teens to grannies. Use this as a starting point and follow your own interests and skills.
Documentation
- There are hundreds of activities for Sugar, almost none of them have any documentation, tutorials for videos.
- Translate documentation.
- Scavenger hunt for what documentation and information there is about an activity and how its used and bring all that information together. This is especially good for Spanish speakers/learners as much of the usage is in South America.
Language
- Translate documentation and interface, especially with the help of their parents when they are native speakers.
- Translate an interesting post from the Spanish speaking list and post it on the English speaking list
Get Sugar on a Stick to work on their computers
- Document what they did and any problems.
- Document what their computer is, chipsets, spec
- Test performance on different types of equipment and help us find out what are the limiting factors
Take Sugar on a Stick to their old elementary school
- Do a lesson in the computer lab
- Work with a teacher and create a lesson aligned with the curriculum. Post the lesson plan, how it went and what curriculum standards it aligns to - Just imagine if we could get thousands of high school students doing a dozen of these each!
- Make a documentary of kids using Sugar
Programming
Sugarize means taking a program like Tux Paint or GCompris and have it use Sugar's special features of saving automatically to the Journal and sharing and collaboration. Many programs need Sugarizing.
- All the different GCompris pieces
- TuxPaint
- Scratch
- Many others that I don't know off the top of my head
Moodle Integration - Sugar already has single sign on but there is so much more to do.
- Launch a Sugar activity from Moodle
- Let a teacher create a Moodle activity that launches an activity in Sugar and then automatically saves to the Moodle drop box
- What-you-Paint-is-What-you-Get (wypiwig) plug-in for Moodle
