The Main Karma Package

Consists of an HTML5 capable browser (activity), a lesson bundle, examples, and utilities to start working with Karma quickly

This is what is contained in the repository at http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/karma/

  • Includes script for Karma activity generation, xo bundle generation
  • includes "platform" files, i.e. a basic html5-capable browser that can be used to create an xo bundle

Karma XO bundle

  • similar to E-Paath layout and uses the standard Sugar bundle structure
  • It is still undecided whether karma will default to using Browse which is based on Firefox or Surf which based on webkit (Safari/Chrome). Surf requires that you install the rpms for pywebkitgtk and webkitgtk
 activity/
        activity.info                          (activity info file)
        activity-web.svg                       (icon for activity as specified in activity.info)
        mimetypes.xml                          (map documents to MIME types)
        text-plain.svg                         (icons for documents, e.g. "text-plain.svg" for "text/plain")
        text-html.svg
        contents                               (manifest for bundle contents)
        contents.sig                           (credentials for signed bundle)
        permissions.info                       (optional; not a stable API)

Karma lesson bundle

consists of multiple lesson in a single bundle

  • common jquery and css files in a single folder

             css/                     # common css files (e.g. jquery.jgrowl.css and menu.css)
             js/                      # common javascript / jquery files
             lessons/                 # directory for all the lessons
                    lesson_name/
