Total 37 activities
9 activities don’t start (Memorize / GetBooks / Paint can be easily resolved)
At least 15 activities with old toolbar
Notes:
- Activity Update does not work.
- Neighborhood, Friends, Home keys does not work.
- Alt-Tab doe not work
- Need apply patch to create default keyring http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10290
- "yum install libxml2-python" solves the problem with Memorize and GetBooks
- Can we include openjdk ?
The Library
Now, the only view of the library is the home page in Browse. You can’t remove a bundle from the Library, see the version or the size. If we change the format of the index file (using json instead of .library_pages/index.html), we can display them in the browser home page and in a custom view to enable all this operations. Is very simple create a python application to show this information in Gnome too.
I think the books, content bundles and PDF files have a different use case than the general objects in the Journal. A book will be used many times. I think we can add a “Move to Library” option in the menu of content bundles and PDFs in the Journal.
- Read [1] is unmaintained. The poppler interface has changed several times, and is not possible run Read in many platforms.
- Read ETexts [2] download, display and do text to speech with texts from project Gutenberg.
- Read SD Comics [3] can be integrated?
- Get Books [4] and Get Internet Archive Books (http://activities.sugarlabs.org/es-ES/sugar/addon/4194). GB contains to GIAB. Why two activities? GB is from Sayamindu, probably is unmaintained. This activities don’t use the language, i can’t ask for books in Spanish. Get Books can read a catalog in a attached device, how build this catalog? Can be modified to read a catalog in the school server?
- Info Slicer [5] can create content bundles, but can’t put it in the Library.
- ViewSlides [8] ?
I would be happy, if we can provide a coherent use case for book searching, downloading, reading and managing. Nice improvements can be, tagging, bookmarks and text to speech.

Comments from James Simmons:
(I have asked for comments to James Simmons [6]. He is the maintainer of Get Internet Archives Books, Read ETexts, Read SD Comics and the writer of “Reading And Leading With One Laptop Per Child” [7])
Gonzalo,
Any opinion I have on the subject will be found in my FLOSS Manual "E-Book Enlightenment":
http://en.flossmanuals.net/ReadingandSugar/Introduction
Above and beyond that the needs I see are:
1). Finish the Pathagar Book Server project. It lacks some needed features, in my opinion.
2). Finish the Get Books Activity. It was supposed to be able to work with ANY OPDS book server (including Pathagar and calibre) but at the moment it only supports the Internet Archive and Feedbooks).
3). Add Plain Text support to the Read Activity, so you can use Read for pretty much any e-book.
4). Finish Aleksey Lim's Library Activity. Among other things this was supposed to allow children to share a shelf of books with other children through the network. You would not be able to copy any old Journal entry; just those that the child put on a "shelf" using the Library Activity.
5). Add Text To Speech support to Read, if possible with word highlighting.
