- Desing of the admin interface
Core Software
Print Support
Print support in Sugar would be useful in many scenarios. The ideal project deliverables would include
- Integration of a printing infrastructure (CUPS ??) into the XO-1 software images
- Modification of Sugar Control Panel to set up the printer (add/select default printer?)
- Modification of at least one activity (Write ?) to support printing
Integration of Espeak into Sugar
Integrate espeak engine with all activities, not just Speak, and provide for karaoke coloring. See Mokurai's article on adapting Same Language Subtitling for literacy to the XO.
Activities
Document reader with annotation capability
GIS activity for XO
Engineers Without Borders, Timepedia, and International Symposium on Digital Earth want to work with OLPC to create community-based mapping data collection systems that will feed to global mapping and analysis projects, which will then feed back to the children and their communities. Environment, health, agriculture...
Enhancements for Measure
Feed generated data from simulations or the software synthesizer into the Measure activity.
Make activities programmable
More generally, support snap-together programming of XO activities in the manner that Turtle Art and Etoys provide internally.
Misc
Sugar Factory
Sugar Factory is an automated method for Sugarizing non-Python applications. Albert Cahalan has some of this working now.
Extending Gnash
Extend Gnash to read more data formats, in particular those at OLPC.tv, and Mary Lou Jepsen's presentation at the Greener Gadgets Conference. Integrate Supat's SSS code and move it upstream.
