Yes! In theory there are thousands of free books. We need people to be able to experience that there are books available for Sugar when they try Sugar. I like the idea of hooking the readers to a library. I don't know how much work that is or who is available to do it now. Does anyone know where we are in terms of books on the activities portal?

Re: [IAEP] 70 minute interview with Bryan Berry on XO deployment in Nepal
hard to argue against someone who is doing such great work in Nepal but I thought Bryan overplayed the local factors too much: 10) Open Source software critical to high quality education – education has to be very customised, to the kids, the teacher, the environment and the country – not something you can design in New York city and will fit another country http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2009/04/olpc-nepal-project-overview.html The counterbalance to that is that The Enlightenment is what made us, what created modernity, what transformed diverse cultures into our modern culture I hope it doesn't become unfashionable to say that modernity is a good thing see http://learningevolves.wikispaces.com/nonUniversals ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 13, Issue 86
Martin, Read doesn't support plain text files, but a separate Activity I wrote, called Read Etexts, does. You can download one of the Zip formats from the Gutenberg site to the Journal with Browse, then Resume it with Read Etexts. Read Etexts also has a text to speech with highlighting feature that you might like. Read can process Djvu files when an Evince plugin for that purpose is installed. This should be a standard part of the Sugar installation in the future and I think it's in SoaS now. Djvu is a format used by the Internet Archive that reproduces scanned pages in a highly compressed way, giving the ebook the appearance of the original book pages. It seems to work better than PDFs for this purpose. Between Gutenberg and IA you have thousands of books available. On the Sugar-devel list there was a discussion of Unified Bundles, where various kinds of readable media can be bundled up like Activities are bundled. One of the goals of this would be to improve the experience of reading texts, slide shows, and the like under Sugar. Instead of needing to know what reading Activity goes with what format, the child would just launch the bundle and the appropriate code would display the content to him. Configuration in a file in the bundle would say what kind of file it was. The bundle maker would set that up, and the child wouldn't have to deal with it. If you were going to create an application to get books from all of the different possible sources and package them up as bundles that sounds to me like a web application on a server, not an Activity. In any case, if you want to download books from Gutenberg to the XO check out Read Etexts and see what you think.

Re: [IAEP] Experiences with Soas2-200904231400.iso Snapshot
Sebastian, I used the PLOP boot diskette, which allows you to boot off a USB drive even if the BIOS doesn't support doing that. This was with the latest snapshot. It never occurred to me to try it with any of the Betas. I would expect that if you booted off the USB drive directly you'd have the same result. I don't have any computers that can do that, unfortunately.

Re: [IAEP] 70 minute interview with Bryan Berry on XO deployment in Nepal
Sayamindu has ported fbreader to the XO, but it is Sugar .82 and is not yet in SOAS or a.sl.o. It reads epub format among others, which is to be found on many of the free sites. I made the following XO style library bundle of the Newbery medal winning children's books by women authors from the UPenn site, and it is still experimental in aslo because it needs recommendations, but recommendations require that you have the reader. http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4077 Yes, it is in English. I know there is a lot of classic Spanish language content out there that could be packaged as well, because I gathered it as a resource for my daughter's AP Spanish Literature class a few years back. I have a detailed lesson plan and student materials bundle for a wonderful literacy activity using write and browse that I want to load (teacher tested -- contributed by my daughter the teacher -- and I could make more) , but we need a category for lesson plans so someone would know to look for it. We're so close to being able to start loading content, but seem to get sidetracked into discussions of better content formats and other "perfect is the enemy of the good" topics every time.
