Here's a short summary of the most accute problems the OLE Nepal people face at the moment while developing for the XO:
- Timer (it has been implemented but it doesn't work all the time, so it will be better if the timer function is generic)
- sometimes we want a timer to halt all the operations in the image, and sometimes we want a timer that only halts a certain operation. Right now we have to use different functionality to implement our desired goal. What we want is a parameter to a generic timer function that switches between the two
- the timer doesn't time in real time, and so if we want to have a shared activity to let two kids do things in a given time, they get out of sync, and so the one might have more time to do her task than the other.
- Text morph as a input control (Surendra is working on it)
- Localization of the text morph (i.e. using Devanagari Font)
- Localization of balloon text (tool tip)
- Sound Buffer problem
- memory problem errors when a lot of sound files are played
- Loading sound files all at once or to replace existing sound files
- Optimization of Squeak activities on the XO the loading of projects is really slow. We're talking minutes of loading time in some cases.
- load pr as activity
- full devanagari support
- find out what is going on with exponential squeak image growth. (the image can grow to 250 mb, even though individual activities are unloaded upon exit)
- find a way to cleanly augment clean etoys image with epaati stuff
- make activities run from the web
- in epaati main menu, make tooltip work with description of that particular activity. Prolly with the description in a text-file somewhere or something.
- months activity doesn't load (what does that mean though?)
A lot of stuff that's on this page right now should be on the dev.laptop.org bug list together with some of the above items which are already there.
