== localization == |
|||
Should this table incorporate a column (or the notion) of localization? This would probably raise the awareness and put the developing community in a more 'global' mindset? --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 18:46, 29 May 2007 (EDT) |
|||
Good point. |

: Core now denoted by '''c''', and localization merged with status comments. we need simple templates for l10n status, from simplest to most complex. [[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9"><small>talk</small></font>]] |
|||
::"core"??? |
|||
::: There is now a 'temporal' category for core, bundled & extra activities (through the use of the {{tl|OBX activity}}, so maybe just remove the 'C' and link to those categories? (BTW, the category names are not 'official' - thus the red link - I'm not sure what the name should actually be just 'core' or (probably better) 'core activities' (being a sub-cat of 'activities').

and several "easy scripting for creating animations and simple games". |
|||
Things would be simpler if we focused our efforts. [[User:Homunq|Homunq]] 20:44, 7 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
: Simpler, but not necessarily better. It's possible that we may see better results with several competing projects stealing ideas from each other than from trying to coordinate a large number of developers to create the ultimate "easy scripting environment". Activities to create animations and games may benefit most from multiple approaches, since there are many different types of animations and games. —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 11:09, 10 August 2007 (EDT) |

:: It would seem that there are some activities that are inconsistently named [[Draw]]? [[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 11:51, 24 September 2007 (EDT) |

== Latest build == |
|||
Shouldn't that column be replaced by a 'First build' in which the activity appeared? It would be logical to assume that once it's in the build it will stay in it... (unless otherwise noted). [[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 11:51, 24 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
== [[GCompris]] in [[Activities]] == |
|||
All the .xo bundles I found have been registered in the [[GCompris]] activity page (reachable through the (still temporal) [[:Category:Activity bundle]] for activities with bundles). Repeating their links in the [[Activities]] page may be a bit redundant; especially if they are not fully sugarized and being so many of them... maybe the description could be expanded a bit to mention some highlights (thus giving a better idea on the real 'size' of the the [[GCompris]] set of activities) instead of listing? Comments? --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 14:40, 1 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
: I was unaware of the GCompris page. I changed the Activities page to just include a link. If you would like to add a good summary of the activities, that would be great. Mainly, we wanted to have the activities listed there because they have been set up correctly so that XO's can download and install them. - AlexL |
|||
:: Hmmm... wonder how many are unaware of the actual activity pages. (IOW, maybe we have a structural miscommunication)... Any ideas on how we may correct that? I mean, for me it was obvious that if you want further info or stuff about an activity (ie: source code or bundles)) you would head for the actual activity page)... Maybe we could add a link similar to the ''l10n resources'' but saying ''xo bundles''? |
|||
:: BTW, I had been adding the POT/l10n stuff before the advent of the OBXes, and now I've removed it, but still noting the presence or absence. --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 20:47, 1 October 2007 (EDT) |

== POT ? == |
|||
I've no idea what this means, please explain or link it. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 20:31, 6 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
: Is it a [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/gettext_9.html#Files Portable Object Template]:<br />''Files ending with .pot are kind of base translation files found in distributions, in PO file format.''<br />?? -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 20:53, 6 October 2007 (EDT) |

:: Yes, it's part of the internationalization/localization system for each application. ''(see also [[Python_i18n | Python internationalization tutorial]])'' —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 20:56, 6 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:::Perhaps this would be a good place to use [[User:Leejc/Icons|Leejc Translate icons]], instead of the current POT text icon. I especially like the last one, and I think its meaning would be clear if used in the Boxes on the activity pages. [[User:HoboPrimate|HoboPrimate]] 01:21, 7 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:::: Thy wish is my command! Done! :) |
|||
:::: If anybody has more suggestions about the OBX (non) icons, please do suggest or change them (I'm not personally gifted) as a matter of fact, I've been having ideas for many other OBXes but smacking a text icon most of the time just defeats the impact or worthiness... Volunteers? |
|||
:::: [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] sorry about the confussion. I've edited the text so it just doesn't say 'POT NEEDED' (which out of context is not a perfect message ;)) --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 09:51, 7 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
::::: That was quick! I've changed the icon, decreasing the canvas to 55px and uploaded [[Image:Translate-icon-55px.svg|it]], so that it looks bigger, with less white space around. It may work better. [[User:HoboPrimate|HoboPrimate]] 11:12, 7 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:::::: Talk about quick! :) Thanks! Done! --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 11:42, 7 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:::::: Yeah, I made the icons to the Sugar HIG standard (approximately the middle 9 squares of a 5x5 grid), which is probably too much padding for other uses, like on the website. —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 16:20, 7 October 2007 (EDT) |

== Install == |
|||
Something should be said here about how to install. |
|||
I'm using joyride #64 on B4 hardware. |
|||
From the Browse activity, I click on the link. After the download completes, I get two options. Neither is clear, and neither seems to do anything. Nothing identifiable shows up in the journal, though I'm getting '''lots''' of random crud there from numerous activities. (I hope that is a bug, because it sure is awful.) |
|||
[[User:AlbertCahalan|AlbertCahalan]] 19:20, 20 October 2007 (EDT) |

:Something a bit more descriptive than "I'm getting '''lots''' of random crud" could help us diagnose what is going on here. In any case, there should be a record of the download in the Journal and resuming from that download will both install and launch the activity. You could take a peek at /home/olpc/Activities before the download; after the download; and after the resume from Journal to see what is happening. If you are not getting the expected behavior, please file a bug in trac. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 11:40, 21 October 2007 (EDT) |
