[Server-devel] Sharing work between XOs/SOAS devices
Hello all. As our 5th graders are doing more and more work with their XOs, their being able to turn in and share their work products (as opposed to collaborating with others) is becoming more and more important. My temporary solution is having them upload their work (along with reflections, if desired) to Moodle, which I can do because we have an XS implementation. However, this means that if a student has created a Memorize vocabulary game that s/he want to share s/he has to: 1. Create the game. 2. Save it to the Journal 3. Go to Browse 4. Navigate to Moodle 5. Find the right course/right assignment within the course 6. Upload game. S/he pretty much has to do the same thing to download and then play other games. This is certainly workable, but dramatically slows down the momentum of creating games and wanting others to play them. So, I am asking to create/offering to help create an Activity that allows users to share work products easily. I know that Bert was working on something called Distribute, which may be a starting place. It seems to share Journal objects, which seems right. I am happy to work with developers on this. I could create requirements, if need be. Just say the word. I look forward to what comes next.

Sugar 0.86 has sharing built into the Journal. But that doesn't help you (yet) on your XO machines :( -walter On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 12:30 PM, Gerald Ardito gerald.ard...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all.

Aleksey, I think option 1 is good. It keeps the favorites metaphor from elsewhere and allows for the sharing of multiple things at the same time. Thanks.

Thanks and best, Gerald What do you think about followed workflows, which is preferable 1) user, using search controls, minimize list of entries in Journal bookmark this entirely list(names it) share the whole list(bookmark) user can have several bookmarks other users see that 1st user shared some bookmarks and can open these bookmarks in theirs Journal(it could be separate icon like USB) (bookmarks could be useful not only for sharing) 2) there is no bookmarks user can share any object w/o bookmarking(e.g. by clicking star icon or so) other user see only one list of shared objects -- Aleksey ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Where is it? http://dev.laptop.org/~bemasc/Distribute-1.xo Distribute is the barest prototype of a sharing activity, designed purely as a proof of concept. It is unmaintained, has essentially no user interface, and is not available in any language other than English. The code is a simplified derivative of the hackish HTTP-based sharing system from Read. Any attempts to revive it are welcome. This is the first time I've ever heard of anyone even attempting to use it. --Ben We got reports that it does indeed work, though I'm not aware of anyone starting to improve it. - Bert - I am happy to work with developers on this.
