<cite>There are lots of designers-particularly in developing countries-that want to contribute to OLPC. The bad news is that they don't know python. or GTK+. They may not even be familiar with linux. They do know HTML, CSS, Javascript, andAdobe Flash.

Due to rise of the Internet and related boom in outsourcing, the vast, vast majority of programmers in developing countries are web developers(according to my own grossly unscientific survey). The rise of the Internet has also led a lot of talented graphic designers in developing and developed countries to learn web technologies.

Unfortunately, there aren't any IDE's that provide WYSIWYG animation editing for DOJO, JQuery, and Processing.js and so on tools. While real programmers use emacs (or vi, joe, sam, etc.), designers use WYSIWYG GUI's.

I propose using web technologies for completely offline activities. Allowing activity designers to quickly build activities utilizing widely-used tools. I will creat an educational framework (Karma) using html5 + JavaScript, it will handle animation ( through <canvas>), sounds (through <audio>), also client-side i18n (according to browser locale) and general persistence (Gears) at the end we will have a re-usable javascript libraries for lesson plan reader (ideally with plain html rather than a pdf or other proprietary format), navigation, help, etc.
I propose using web technologies for completely offline activities. Allowing activity designers to quickly build activities utilizing widely-used tools. We need Karma (original idea [[USER:BryanWB| Bryan Berry]]) to enable web designers to quickly build activities for the XO without having to learn a whole new skillset.

The objetive is to provide a single prototype activity which could be used as a template for sugarizing AJAX activities. I will recreate an existing activity such as one of [http://www.pustakalaya.org/external-content/static/epaath/E-Paath-2.activity/activity/Activity/MenuStage.html OLE Nepal's flash activities].

* ''' What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.'''
* ''' Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant. '''

However, the effectiveness of Phyton has led me to explore it, I've done some little experiments using it.

Flash uses Action Script that is really similar to Java Script, so my experience is usefull. Also, I've used PHP, html and css
So, one good question is what am I changing sides? (why no using flash)
in school projects.</p>
I have been talking with Bryan Berry [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-March/013043.html] and I have read several threads in the mailing list. Bryan has convinced me that open web technologies are the correct way in order to get an open-source ecosystem.
So... it seems that my experience with flash is not useful, well.. Flash uses Action Script that is really similar to Java Script (both are basend on ECMAScript).
About web technologies I've used PHP (i.e. implementing BEA algorithm), html and css in school projects.

<p>Also I have participated in several programming contest: "ACM Programming Contest México and Central América 2007" in 2005, 2007[http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/regionals/ViewRegionalStandings.asp?ContestID=860] and 2008[http://cidi.uaq.mx/acm/results.html] obtaining honorable mention, 5th (global) place and 8th (global) place respectively.</p>
