Talk:Activities
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? --Xavi 18:46, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Good point. --Jim 20:13, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Core now denoted by c, and localization merged with status comments. we need simple templates for l10n status, from simplest to most complex. Sj talk
- "core"???
- There is now a 'temporal' category for core, bundled & extra activities (through the use of the {{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').

Duplication in programming activities
develop and python (and GvR)
2x logo
and several "easy scripting for creating animations and simple games".
Things would be simpler if we focused our efforts. 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. —Joe 11:09, 10 August 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). 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? --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
