Karma is a framework for creating educational software using JavaScript, html5, and SVG. The Karma team is primarily focused on developing Sugar activities but you can also Karma to create lessons that run in any web browser that supports html5.

Karma is a sub-project of Sugar Labs that is under active development as a part of a [[Karma#GSoC_Project| Google Summer of Code project]]. The latest examples can be seen at [http://karma.sugarlabs.org http://karma.sugarlabs.org]. You can also check out the [http://karmaproject.wordpress.com Karma Project blog] for updates.

To try out the karma examples you need to have an html5-capable browser. The Browse activity within Sugar does not currently support html5. To try out karma within Sugar you need to install [http://dev.laptop.org/~bobbyp/surf/Surf-106.xo Surf] and its webkit dependencies or run Firefox 3.5 from the command-line (yum install pywebkitgtk WebKit-gtk gnome-python2-gconf).

The current focus of development is to convert Nepal's set of lessons coded in Squeak smalltalk. You can find the list of lessons to be converted [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tweUJyn1BkEciHqVtSvCYDA&output=html here]. This is a good place for new contributors to get started

* Coding Pattern - We generally try to follow this coding pattern as it makes it easier to browse your code
Put code in following order
1) variable declarations
2) method declarations
3) method calls
== Version Control ==
Currently all lessons are stored in the examples/ folder of [http://git.olenepal.org/karma/karma main karma repository]
<strike>
Here is how you can use the karma_lesson template to create a new repository from scratch
$ git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/karma_lesson/mainline.git
$ mkdir ../karma_3_English_3 # create a new lesson directory following our naming convention
$ cp -r * ../karma_3_English_3
$ cd ../karma_3_English_3
$ rm -r .git # make sure you get rid of the old git directory
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -a -m "first commit"
Now go to the http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/new, make sure you are logged in
Create a new project, use the same name as you did for your lesson's main folder
then,
$ git remote add origin git://... # the pubic push url
Then on to coding your lesson ;)
From then on
$ git push origin master # will sync your local tree w/ the server
'''Tagging''' -- a karma lesson can be in only one of two states, stable or unstable. Any commit tagged 'stable' is the stable version of your code. Every other version of your code is unstable. We will not use numeric versioning such as 0.1, 1.0, 1.2, etc. for the foreseeable future.
