[sugar] Presence Participant ID
Hi, I just noticed the addition of this function to the PS API: • SearchActivitiesByParticipants(au) → o • Search for activities having the given participants. • Returns: the view representing the result of the search. What participant id does this take? Presence participants are buddies, so I would have expected this function to take an 'ao' argument. - Bert - ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar

Fame, glory, and the undying gratitude of hundreds of thousands of children await you! Background: I'm just a G1G1. I don't have a Developer key, but on my own initiative I installed candidate-703 and candidate-708 using olpc-update and provided some feedback and bug reports. ... More clarity. Is more clarity needed more in some fora than in others? Is this nominated Wednesday build going to be a candidate build that mere users can install using olpc-update, or do I need the fabled bronze Developer key to become a joyride-like tester of nominated 8.2 builds? It will soon, but not yet. In a few weeks, once we're more confident in the sustainability and security of the build, then we'll publish an official candidate build with cryptographic signatures that mark it as suitable for mass installation. and that cloning/updating the Friends in Testing page would be useful. I'd never heard of http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Friends_in_testing I've never heard of X is a rather consistent refrain. Hrm. I did sign up for http://wiki.laptop.org/go/8.2.0#Put_Your_Name_Here_to_Confirm_You_Will_Try_the_Release_Candidate Thanks! I think once OLPC has a candidate build that people can install using olpc-update and has been smoke-tested, then it can publicize it on planet.laptop.org, olpcnews.com, forum.laptop.org, etc. Another mailing list won't help as much to get the word out. Okay. I'm not so sure. If you want more testing, just publicize as above. I didn't hear about candidate builds until I started following devel and figured out the wiki's green Latest Releases box. Should we make the Latest Releases box more prominent or readable? Me too, especially if there's clarity about olpc-update vs. the fabled developer key. You should probably request a developer key: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_key It will make your life as a tester much, much easier. Besides - Forth is fun!

Re: [sugar] [Localization] How software updater will be translated?
Hi, We had some discussion about this in yesterday's release meeting, and it looks like this feature is primarily targetted for G1G1 users, so getting this quickly translated is not a major priority. Also, Scott (who is working on this tool) told me that the strings will be changing significantly in the near future, since he is currently discussing potential improvements to the UI with Eben. I think in such a case, it might be a better idea to wait for sometime, until the strings become a bit more stabilized.

Re: [sugar] [Testing] Random observations with joyride-2225 and latest activities
Sound like quite good points to me, can you make sure we have proper tickets for those? Thanks a lot, Tomeu On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 2:26 AM, Christoph Derndorfer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I've been running joyride-2225 with what I believe to be the latest versions (as per the update software functionality of the sugar-control-panel) of some core activities. In the past half hour I have stumbled across some issues that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else so I thought I'd share them: a) Record: using v56 the activity starts up fine, the display shows whatever the camera is capturing, I can go into fullscreen-mode, switch to different tabs, etc. However once I press the capture-button the whole thing basically freezes, sometimes I was still able to move the mouse but clicking wouldn't have any impact, at other times Sugar completely froze and I had to do a hard reset of the XO. b) TurtleArt: v7 is missing an l in the activity title so we're looking at TurteArt c) Read: This activity is only useful if started by clicking on a file with a mime-type that's associated to read. However it still shows up in the list view of the home-view even though you actually can't do anything with it once you start it. The activity.info file has the show_launcher property to define that behavior, not sure whether in this case it's simply set wrongly in the read .info or whether the list-view presently ignores this attribute. Another odd issue is that when you open read from the list / favorites view and you then want to close it you're presented with a keep error message which seems quite useless considering the fact that no activity / file was actually resumed. Again, not sure whether that's an issue with read or the underlying Journal structure. d) Brightness adjustment: up to 708 and most earlier joyrides that I have used in the past weeks allowed you to immediatly turn of the backlight by pressing ctrl + reduce brightness button. With joyride-2225 this doesn't work anymore. Let me know what you think.

While I think people do have a few ideas as to what areas we are hurting in, IME the end user / client is usually looking at something _different_. I have worked a lot in performance around various systems, and a good part of the problem had to do with the end users looking at something completely different from what the core team was looking at. Can we get from the Uy crowd concrete examples, specific actions with (however rough) timings and what use cases they affect? +1 We would love to make everything fast, but as we won't have time to do it all for any of the next releases, we should get feedback on what we should focus on.
