Re: [Sugar-devel] Draft Project Proposal for GSoC'24 - Sugarizer 3D Volume Activity (Korada Vishal)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Korada,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- Good description of what you plan to implement
- It will be better if you've got a running demo of your current work
- The activity is not about dice but about 3D volume, your current volumes
are dice oriented only
- The rotate button is not expected to be on the toolbar but in the board
- The idea is to add volume one by one like in Physics activity
- Sharing activity is not to play dice again others, it's just to update
board in a collaborative way
- Selenium testing could be nice but it seems complex here

Regards.

 Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC Proposal Review Request (divyanshu kumar)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Divyanshu,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- Good understanding of what should be done
- You don't really describe how things will be done, you just describe the
way you will organize yourself
- You don't demonstrate you've got a good understanding of current
Sugarizer v2 implementation
- You should post on Discord a link to a video of Pawn tutorial activity
running.

Regards.

 Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Submission of Proposal and Video for GSoC Application

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Soham,

Your proposal is confusing.
You mention Sugarizer but your proposal is about "Add an AI-assistant to
the Write Activity" project which is related to Sugar.
Both Sugar and Sugarizer are hosted by SugarLabs and share the same spirit
but they don't use the same technical stack.
Walter and Ibiam are more appropriate than me to study your proposal.

Regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Draft Project Proposal for GSoC'24 - Sugarizer VueJS Core (Korada Vishal)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Vishal,

Very detailed proposal.

Few things:
- Regarding the Journal view, be careful : depending on the selection in
the footer bar the Journal should be loaded from the local storage (as
today in the home view), from the user Journal on the server or from the
shared Journal on the server. It's not the same code to load it depending
on this.
- The assignment feature should be integrated too in the Journal (see the
Journal part here
https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/archives/2022/student-reports/sugarizer-assignments-Rohan-Kumar..md
)
- Electron and Android integrations don't need to be encapsulated in Vue.js.
- Upload/download of documents from/to the device are important feature to
reproduce in v2
- Selenium testing is a good idea but it could take time (more than one
week).

Regards.

Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Samarth Bagga Draft GSoC proposal Sugarizer 3D Volume Activity (Samarth Bagga)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Samarth,

Very cool demo: almost perfect.
Very good understanding of what's expected in the activity.

There are some things to improve:
- I think a zoom and a rotate button should be added on the board
- Will be fun to use the buddy colors as background default color and
volume default color.

Regarding the proposal you're supposed to include a link to a video of the
Pawn activity tutorial running. Could be published on the Discord for
exemple.
It would be nice if you had already contributed to Sugarizer too.

Regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2024 Proposal Review Request - 3D Volume Activity - VishnuVardhanBR (Vishnu Vardhan Reddy)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Vishnu,

Fun demo, that's the idea of the UX expected.
The way to rotate the board is not fluid. I think it will be better to have
a 3D rotate button on the board - instead of in the toolbar - with a zoom
button.
The quality of volumes could be improved too.

Your proposal is slightly minimal. It misses a list of features to
implement with a detail of what needs to be done and a detail on how you
plan to implement it.
You should also add a link to your Pawn video on Discord.

Regards.

Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Review my proposal for GSOC'24 Sugarizer 3D Volume Activity (Harsh Singh)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Harsh,

Good demo and nice proposal.

My remarks:
- I've got in mind a slightly different UI, more close to the Physics
activity: one button for each type of volume, click on the board to add one
volume,  an erase mode to remove a volume, ...
- The activity should have a dice mode and a volume mode (without numbers
on volume). It's not an activity just to play dice.
- The current point of view (on the top of the board) on your demo doesn't
give a clear view of volumes, I'm expecting another start point of view and
a way to change the view
- It will be nice to integrate in your proposal a mock-up of the final
activity with all expected features. It will help to understand what the
activity looks like at the end.
- Vue.js is not a prerequisite, you don't have to migrate from Vanilla.js
to Vue.js
- Please post on Discord a video of the Pawn activity running

Regards.

Lionel

Hi Nischav,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- Nice schema but I think some links are missing (for example between home
view and popup)
- Good analysis of things to be done
- You don't mention creation of localization component, it's a part of the
project
- You should provide a link on your video showing the Sugarizer Development
Activity Tutorial

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC' 2023 Proposal "Sugarizer Word Puzzle and Chart Activities"

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Dhruv,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- Diagrams for Word Puzzle have no interest since it's the generic workflow
for Exerciser
- Very detailed description of planned implementation for template and
activity: good job
- The Chart Activity is supposed to be written in Vue.js

Regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSOC'23 Proposal Submission (Abhinav Kumar)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Abhinav,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- Nice to try implementing by yourself but you're supposed to use the
existing Sugarizer VueJS UI components, here you've rewrite everything from
Scratch
- You don't speak about Sugarizer Server API to use
- We don't plan to use neither Vite, neither Pinia
- We don't need to localize strings, the work has already be done
- Dockerization has no sense for the Sugarizer App since it intend to run
on mobile devices, in the browser or on the desktop
- You should provide a link to the video with the result of the Sugarizer
Activity Developpement tutorial.

Regards.

you plan to implement the solution for it.
It's the only way for us to ensure that you're the right candidate.

Hi Dhruv,

You're supposed to send your proposal to review in PDF format as mentioned

It's unfair to use Google Doc to restrict review to a limited set of users.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer VueJs Core Proposal By Hazem Kasim

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Hazem,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- Good idea to write user stories
- On technical side, we wish to avoid Vue CLI, VueX and TypeScript.
- We expect more detail on the way screens will be implemented: UI
components to use, which API in which case and which component will be used
to request the API.

Regards.

   Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugraizer vue.JS core draft proposal

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Anuj,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- You should publish your video tutorial in the Discord and give the link
in your proposal
- You described the current way of working of Sugarizer screens, it's not
what we asked. We expect that you describe how to implement it with the new
components instead. Lot of actions are not pertinent for the scope of the
project (specifically local storage handling) where we expect just to
explore connection to a server.
- Good idea to integrate Neighborhood view.
- You mention "Making the sugar-web ready to handle new framework". sugar-web
should not be impacted by the project.

Regards.

Lionel

Hi Disha,

Thanks for your proposal.
Few remarks:
- You don't describe what happens in Shared mode for Chart activity: every
user can change every data? How do you plan to implement it?
- No enough detail regarding Word Puzzle, we expect more information about
what should be done and how you plan to do it

Re: [Sugar-devel] Draft proposal for GSoC'23 - Sugarizer Word Puzzle and Chart activities (vedant sharma)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Vendant,

Thanks for your proposal.
My remarks:
- The Word puzzle implementation graph is useless, it's the standard
process of every Sugarizer activities
- Nice to describe storage
- The creation form is nice, it could be interesting to add an option to
show/hide definition
- Test of Exercise should be available at every moment during creation
- You do not describe result screen at the end of exercise
- The Chart activity implementation graph is useless, it's the standard
process of every Sugarizer activities
- You describe implementation of standard methods (add toolbar, sharing,
localization, tutorial) but you don't describe implementation of specific
Chart methods (handling data, display and customize charts, ...)

Regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Draft proposal for GSoC'23 - Sugarizer Word Puzzle and Chart activities (Harshit Maurya)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Harshit,

Thanks for this proposal.
Few remarks:
- I'm not sure Word Puzzle options Background image and Fill character are
useful.
- You describe methods to implement Word Puzzle but you don't explain how
the new template
will match implementation of existing templates
- The process you describe to create a new template doesn't match the
existing process. Specifically, all settings should be done in one place
(no Launch button to create questions) and the user should be able to test
the new Exercise at every moment
- The timer is not needed: it's not present on other templates.
- Regarding the Chart activity, a semantic correction: the idea is not "to
convert the existing activity" but rewrite it from scratch
- It could be nice to be able to open data exported from Measure (and why
not Stop watch) as a Chart.
- You don't mention possibility to change Chart colors
- You don't mention link on your tutorial video

Regards.

  Lionel

[Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v1.7 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

I'm proud to announce version 1.7 of Sugarizer, the leading learning
platform for children.

https://sugarizer.org

New in this version:

   - Assignments: Receive assignments directly from Sugarizer, answer them
   and submit your answer while still in the application. Sugarizer becomes
   your school companion.
   - Evaluation mode in Exerciser:Exerciser becomes a skills assessment
   tool. Turn any exercise into an assessment in one click and give it to the
   class in real time or make it a homework assignment.
   - Better touch screen support: The new Sugarizer version has now been
   tested on different smart board and touch PC. Whatever its size is,
   Sugarizer will work on your touch screen.
   - New Tutorial UI:We've decided to change the tutorial library to
   provide a better user experience. Simpler, more intuitive and faster.
   You'll love it.
   - Improved stability: more than 40 fix and update on Sugarizer and
   activities.



A short animation of these features is visible here:
https://youtu.be/fkuC05ddW_U

A full description of Sugarizer activities with demo video, category and
recommended age is available on https://sugarizer.org/activities.html



We need your help to improve Sugarizer user experience and make it
accessible to more users! Support Sugarizer on GitHub Sponsor [1] or
Liberapay [2].



Sugarizer 1.7  is available on your browser [3] but also for your Android,
iOS, Linux, MacOS or Windows device. Download it from : Google Play [4],
Amazon Store [5], Apple Store [6], F-droid [7], snapcraft [8] and if you
don't like stores, you could also install it by yourself using instructions
on the Sugarizer website [9].

On Android, Sugarizer could also replace your launcher with Sugarizer OS
[10].

And if you want to deploy Sugarizer Server for your school, follow
instructions here [11].



   Lionel Laské


P.S.: Special thanks for their contribution on this version to Rohan Kumar (
Assignment feature), Divyansh Agarwal (Exerciser activity) and Saumya
Kushwaha (new tutorial). Many thanks also to all Google Summer of Code
students and mentors who made this release possible.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Draft proposal for GSoC'23 - Sugarizer Vue.JS Core (vinayak nayar)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Vinayak,

Thanks for your proposal.

I do like your flow chart to describe interaction. It's cool.
You can't consider that a chart is enough. It could be nice to give more
explanation for each step on which UI components  you will use and which
API call you will use.
It will be better to demonstrate too that you're already familiar with the
Sugarizer Server API.

Regards.

  Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Proposal Gsoc23- Sugarizer Word Puzzle and Chart activities.

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Utkarsh,

Thanks for your proposal and for your contributions to Sugarizer.

I do like your analysis on Word Puzzle and your small prototype using the
LearningApp approach.
BTW you can't just describe the work to be done on activities by describing
data structures. It's too short. We expect a more detailed description of
each feature to implement and how it will be done.

Regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel Digest, Vol 171, Issue 14

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Ayesha,

Thanks for your proposal and for your contributions to Sugarizer.
You've got a good understanding of what should be done on each screen but
the description of how you will have to connect to the Sugarizer Server is
missing.
The UI aspect of the project is easy because the work done last year
provides all components needed.
So the essential part of the project is how to connect to Sugarizer Server
and handle data coming from this connection to use it in screens.
I suggest you study the Sugarizer Server API
, do a small sample to learn how it works
and complete your proposal with it.

Regards.

  Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Eager to work in fixing the UI of sugarizer.

[Lionel Laské]

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions.
To optimize the process and avoid mail pollution, if you want to suggest
some improvements, please open an issue here
 (one by suggestion) and wait
for our reply.

However, to complete other answers from the list, I think that before doing
suggestions you should take in consideration few things about
Sugar/Sugarizer
- It's targeted for children between 6 and 12, some of them can't read (so
we tend to avoid "text") and some of them have never used a computer before
(so applying what you think as "usual" icon is not necessarily a good idea).
- It works both on computer and touch devices so concept of tooltip and
cursor are not always appropriate
- It was thought for children that could have visual disability so a
colorful screen is not always the best thing to do
- We expect that children could focus on activities so we tend to avoid
multiple windows

It's nice to have suggestions from beginners. By the way I tend to
privilegiate suggestions coming from the field (children, teachers) from
suggestions coming from tech guys.
We're doing software for education, not for tech people.

Regards.

   Lionel

[Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v1.6 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

I'm proud to announce version 1.6 of Sugarizer, the leading learning
platform for children.

https://sugarizer.org

New in this version:

   - 2 new activities included:


   - Measure activity: An activity to learn the concepts of sound.
   Literally an activity to see the sound in action.
   - Story activity: Express your creativity with the Story Activity. You
   should try to tell a comprehensive narrative that ties a set of random
   images together.


   - Improved Calligra activity: You want to learn your child to write its
   first name in cursive? It's now possible with the new version of Calligra
   activity. You can even build your own words list. You've asked for it,
   it's done!


   - New videos included: Thanks to Art4Apps [1] more than 100 new videos
   are available to learn how to spell and pronounce words in English and
   French.
   - More privacy control: Your privacy matters for us. You're now able to
   control cookies contentment and you're able to easily delete your
   account on the device or on the server. Sugarizer is RGPD compliant and
   extremely serious about data privacy.
   - Improved stability: more than 20 fix and update on Sugarizer and
   activities.

[Sugar-devel] Handling of localization in Sugarizer/MusicBlocks

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

>From the beginning, Sugarizer relies on the webL10n library [1] to handle
localization from Javascript.
This library uses a .INI file where localizations are stored and loaded
during page initialization.
Sounds like MusicBlocks use the same library too.

I'm thinking to change localization library in a future version of
Sugarizer because:

   - webL10n has been deprecated since 2015
   - a pivot file format (PO Gettext) is used to be able to localize
   strings in the Sugarizer translate platform [2]. It made the update process
   complex (INI to PO then PO to INI).
   - all language localizations are located in a huge file (260kb) that is
   not good for performance reasons.

I've done a short study here [3] to test another localization library
i18next [4].
i18next is independent from any Javascript framework, largely supported and
easy to use.

So I'm thinking to switch to i18next.
Is there any plan to change the localization library in MusicBlocks?
Do you experience another localization library?

Regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v1.5 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Ignacio,

Nice to hear from you.
Thanks.

I've just tested on my side on an iPhone. You're right :-(
It sounds like it's related to the screen size because it works nice on a
tablet.
A - partial - work around is to increase letter size using zoom palette and
click on fullscreen.

Do not hesitate to fill a bug.

Regards.

  Christmas lights using Sugarizer icons and colors.
   - 3 improved activities:
  - *Clock activity:* New options to show or hide minutes, AM hours, PM
  hours and a full 24h mode. The best activity to learn how to
read the time
  is here.

  World activity. Learn countries' flags at the same time as location.
  - *Shared Notes activity*: Choose background color or background
  image in the Shared Notes activity.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer Story Activity Proposal Review

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Saurabh,

Nice proposal.
I agree with Ashish, it will be nice to avoid rewriting a Text Editor.
Could be cool to also provide a way to export the result to Write format.
Regarding Abecedarium, there is already an existing API to access
Abecedarium content. It's called for example in the Journal Chooser popup.
See here:
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/dev/lib/sugar-web/graphics/journalchooser.js#L425

Re: [Sugar-devel] Regarding Sugarizer Projects

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Saurabh,

It's easier to write Sugarizer activities using Vue.js because a lot of
Sugar-Web features are directly integrated in the components layer here
.

So there is less code to write in Vue.js to do the same than in Vanilla JS.
To see the difference, you could compare Vanilla JS tutorial and Vue.js
tutorial.

Regards.

Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer Story activity

[Lionel Laské]

You have right to use third-party components in Sugarizer activities.
BTW I'm not sure we need to provide a Text Editor in Story activity. It
will complexify the activity.
Sugarizer includes already the Write activity to format text. Maybe we
could provide a bridge between Story and Write activity.

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Shivam,

As Jui said, you're welcome to propose new Sugarizer features. Just fill
one or more issues on the Sugarizer here
 to explain each new feature
and why it could be useful.

Quick answers on your first proposals:
1) There is already a filter on activity names using the Search field
2) Not sure what Dictionary activity is. You should give examples here.
3) Good point.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Gsoc'21

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Shubhangi,

Hmmm. You're right, it sounds like Chrome browser look for index.html on
the web instead of trying locally!

Try with the full local path where you clone the repo, something like:

open -n /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args
--allow-file-access-from-files file:///Users//sugarizer/index.html

It should work.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Project Ideas for GSOC 2021

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Saurabh,

Thanks for your suggestions.
Tic Tac Toe and Pong have no pedagogic interest in my opinion. Face
Recognition is very similar to Memorize activity and because it's easy to
create its own Memorize, I think Face Recognition could be done directly
using Memorize settings.

I've just added two Sugarizer projects for GSoC 2021 on
https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/Ideas-2021.md

Regards.

 Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Participation in GSOC 2021

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Saurabh,

Thanks for your interest in Sugarizer and for your contributions.

As James mentioned, there is no specific request today about integrating
Hindi language in Sugarizer.
I tend to prefer adding features asked by the field and there is no today
deployment asking for Hindi. But of course anyone can propose new features,
so I will certainly accept new languages for Sugarizer.
BTW localization in Sugarizer is not a programming task, it's handled using
a dedicated website - more friendly for translators - on
https://translate.sugarizer.org

Regards.

[Sugar-devel] Free hosting for your Sugarizer Server

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

We're launching a beta version for our Sugarizer Server Free hosting
service: *Sugarizer Server School Portal*

https://sugarizer.site/

The idea is simple:
- You already know Sugarizer and like it
- You want to use collaboration features of Sugarizer, so you need a
Sugarizer Server
- You want to have your private Sugarizer Server dedicated to your
deployment
- You want to control and manage the work of learners and manage and
analyze all activities on your deployment using Sugarizer Server Dashboard
- You don't have skill or resource to host your own Sugarizer Server

That's fine, the School Portal service is for you!
We offer you for free (yes free!):
- A dedicated Sugarizer Server to host your deployment
- A dedicated DNS address: https://.sugarizer.site to use it
from anywhere (browser, PC, tablets)
- A dedicated admin access to manage stats and activities on your server
- A limited online support (Slack/Mail/IRC) to help you during deployment

It's totally free, the only things we expect from you are:
- *Use it for real!* We don't want to host servers just to play with

addictive game
  that was a success on the XO laptop.
  - *MindMath activity*: A mental calculation game similar to countdown
  numbers rounds. Achieve a target number by performing mathematical
  operations. Optimize your score against the computer and be better than
  your friends.
  - *Vote activity:* Create a poll and share it with your friends in
  one click. Result in real time and report at the end.

  goal is to rearrange the seven separate pieces into a complete image of
  various shapes.
   - *Simon Mode in Tam Tam activity:* Choose your instrument then play
   this famous version of Simon Says against your computer.
   - *Improved User Experience*: Join activity in Neighborhood view in one
   click, Improved home view spiral, Duplicate journal entries, Better

   - *Improved stability:* more than 30 fix and update on Sugarizer and
   activities


A short animation of these features is visible here:
https://youtu.be/BAbHkQzBpP0
A full description of Sugarizer activities with demo video, category and
recommended age is available on https://sugarizer.org/activities.html

New features of Sugarizer are decided by users, suggest yours for the next
version.

I think that the  tag in SVG should reference a part of another SVG,
not a whole SVG.
It's why you should reference a specific  id in the targeted SVG
file.
In my sample.

Hmmm. Are you sure you should not define a  tag in the
SVG file and reference #myid in the  tag?
It's the way I'm doing. See in my test page here:
https://github.com/llaske/svgstudy/blob/master/icons/new/abcd-icon2.svg?short_path=f320e6c#L17
https://github.com/llaske/svgstudy/blob/master/test.html#L355

BTW I think it's better to do this step by step:
- Use CSS variables with a CSS style sheet
- Then once it works, try to use SVG external source

Yes, it seems to do the job.

No, it's better to have only one file to maintain.

Thanks for the link. The question is: is it possible to replace this code
by native call of SVG features.

This tool transforms an existing SVG file to allow it to use it in Sugar.
But once transformed it's no longer possible to edit transformed colors in,
for example, Inkscape.
My idea is to have a way to edit the transformed file in Inkscape like if
it was a "standard" SVG file.
With the new CSS representation I propose It should be doable in Inkscape
because Inkscape 1.0 seems to support CSS files [3].
But unfortunately I can't figure out how to do it :-(

[Sugar-devel] Handling of SVG in Sugar/Sugarizer

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

>From the beginning, the handling of SVG files in Sugar rely on Entity
fields in the header of files. Something like:

http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"; [


]>

This mechanism is described on [1]. Sugarizer rely on the same mechanism to
colorize icons.

Because this "hack" has some drawbacks - specifically on performance - I
think to change it in a future version of Sugarizer to use native SVG/CSS
features instead. I've done a detailed study here [2] to explain how it
could work.

Of course it will generate compatibility issues but it would be nice to see
if the same thing could be done in Python too. I'm not a Python/Gtk
specialist but will be happy to help on it.

Regards.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer thread continuation (John Sincak)

[Lionel Laské]

Hmmm, Interesting idea.
But it could be done only for Sugar activities written in JavaScript using
Sugar Web.
BTW it will not be possible today due to some incompatibilities between
Sugar Web for Sugar and Sugar Web for Sugarizer.

Regards.

 Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel Digest, Vol 141, Issue 31

[Lionel Laské]

Cross developpement is possible with Sugarizer because Sugarizer could run
on Windows like on any other platform (Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS).
If Python is a pre-requisite, Jappy activity could be used but it will not
allow to use graphical python libraries like pygames.
If Python is not a pre-requisite writing the activity using JavaScript
could be a nice choice because there is a lot of existing JavaScript
framework equivalent to pygames.

To learn Sugarizer activity development, there is a step by step tutorial
here: https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/dev/docs/tutorial.md

Regards.

 Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Music Blocks in the Playstore (Walter Bender)

[Lionel Laské]

Sound like you rely on browser cache that could be risky.

Why not package the whole HTML/JavaScript code into the package then use as
start page of WebView file:///index.html instead of
https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/
That's what we've done with Sugarizer Android package.

Another suggestion: will be nice to add Music Blocks on F-Droid store too (
https://f-droid.org/).
F-Droid is a store for Free Open Source Software for Android and it will
make sense to be there too.

Regards.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2020 Slot Requests

[Lionel Laské]

Good news!
It's cool that Google give us this help to work on our projects.
I'm specifically like the idea to have 3 Sugar projects, 3 MusicBlocks
projects and 3 Sugarizer projects. It's the diversity of what SugarLabs is
today.

Whatever the result may be, many thanks to all students for their
participation and motivation. Your contribution is always valuable for us.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Proposal to build app store for python 3 activities

[Lionel Laské]

That's true. Sugarizer activities should be bundle with the application or
on the hosting Sugarizer Server. Dynamic loading of activities is not
possible due to sandboxing reason.

So an app store for Sugarizer activities has no sense today.

 Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] New Activity Proposal

[Lionel Laské]

Just few elements to give you some context.

Sugarizer was designed initially to host Sugar activities written with
Sugar-Web. A brief history of Sugarizer is here:
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/dev/docs/credits.md
So the Sugar-Web implementation in Sugarizer was compatible with Sugar.
It's why today, the activity template to write a new Sugarizer activity (
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/tree/dev/activities/ActivityTemplate)
use in Sugarizer Development Tutorial, still include Python stuff.
Just zip the content of your Sugarizer activities into a .xo file (explain
here:
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/web-activity.md#ready-to-release)
and you should be able to install it on Sugar and run it. At least,
theoretically.

Unfortunately the compatibility between Sugarizer and Sugar-Web was lost
during the development of Sugarizer. The Sugar-Web implementation in
Sugarizer was never merged in Sugar-Web, Sugarizer added new features
(presence, Journal chooser, ...) not directly compatible with Sugar and no
one worked to maintain the compatibility.

BTW it will be interesting to retrieve this compatibility, even if some
features are not directly mappable, at least to allow a Sugarizer activity
to be launched on Sugar and run basic features of the activity.

It's not necessary a very complex task but it require rigor and patience.
The thread here: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-web/pull/133 explain
the process if you're volunteer to work on this task. Of course, both
people from the Sugar side and from the Sugarizer side on this list will be
able to help you.

Regards.

  Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Activity Idea for Sugarizer

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Utkarsh,

In my opinion, Scratch and TurtleBlocks activities already allow children
to handle algorithmic concepts.
Then Jappy and EToys activities could be used for experimented users.
Not sure we need one more Algorithmic activity. At least we didn't have
request about that from deployments.
We had the project to include Microbit (
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/issues/562) but it's not possible today
to have a full offline version (which is a pre-requisite for Sugarizer
activities).

Regards.

   Lionel.

Hi Abhishek,

The target for Sugar/Sugarizer is children between 6 and 12.
It seems too complex for this target.
If you're interested by a Math activity, I suggest you to the Mind math
activity proposal here:
https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/Ideas-2020.md#sugarizer-game-activity-pack

[Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v1.3 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

I'm proud to announce the version 1.3 of Sugarizer, the leading learning
platform for children.

http://sugarizer.org

New in this version:

   - Calligra activity: Primary school teachers asked us, it's done!
   Calligra is a fun activity to help kids learn cursive writing: letters,
   numbers or figures. You could even create your own figures!


   - Falabracman activity: It was one of children favorite Sugar activities
   all over the world  since its creation in 2008 in Brazil. The addictive
   Falabracman game is back. Learn words by collecting all the letters in
   the right order.
   - Piano mode in TamTam activity: Choose your instrument then display a
   small piano keyboard to play your favorites melodies using this instrument.
   Never been so easy to play music.
   - Set time mode in Clock activity: Set clock hands by yourself or play
   to find the hand position matching a specific time.
   - Smartphone support: Of course a smartphone is not the ideal device for
   Sugarizer but we can't ignore an opportunity to learn. So most
   activities propose now a full screen mode to be easily usable on small
   screens.
   - Tutorial everywhere: You've got a doubt about features of an activity?
   Now every activities include a full tutorial to explain how it works step
   by step.
   - Improved stability: more than 100 fix and update on Sugarizer and
   activities.

A short animation of these features is visible here:
https://youtu.be/kwhvWROHb2Q

Teachers use Sugarizer in 30 schools today. If it's good for them, why not
for your children?

Sugarizer 1.3  is available on your browser [1] but also for your Android,
iOS, Linux, MacOS or Windows device. Download it from : Google Play [2],
Amazon Store [3], Apple Store [4], F-droid [5], snapcraft [6] and if you
don't like stores, you could also install it by yourself using instructions
on the Sugarizer website [7].

On Android, Sugarizer could also replace your launcher with Sugarizer OS
[8].

And if you want to deploy Sugarizer Server for your school, follow
instructions here [9].

   Lionel Laské


P.S.: Special thanks for their contribution on this version to Prakash
Ujjwal (Falabracman activity, Set time mode in Clock activity), Marcus
Chong (Piano mode in TamTam activity) and to all GCI students specifically
Andrea Gonzales, Nathan Dimmer, sdziuda and Sashreek Magan.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2020 (Knowledge Activity Pack) Proposal Review Request

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Hemansh,

Nice proposal.

Two remarks:
- You didn't mention your knowledge of Vue.js. Do you have any experience
on it? If so, may be you could include some links.
- Regarding the Vote activity, the home screen will certainly not be a
choice between starting a poll or joining a poll. The home screen will be
list of existing poll to launch. Joining the poll will be via the
Neighborhood view. See
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/dev/docs/tutorial_step6.md for
more on presence and sharing activities in Sugarizer.

Regards.

  Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer APK builder plugin addition

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Dhruv,

You can't directly edit the docker image.
The better solution is to launch it with another entry point.
Something like:

sudo docker run --rm -it \
 -v `pwd`/sugarizer:/sugarizer \
 -v `pwd`/cordova-plugin-sugarizeros:/cordova-plugin-sugarizeros \
 -v `pwd`:/output \
 --entrypoint /bin/bash \
 llaske/sugarizer-apkbuilder:latest

It launch a command line into the docker so you're free to update the build
environment. Then you could launch the ./make_android.sh (the default entry
point for the image) to start generation.

Regards.

   Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Request for sugarizer knowledge activity pack proposal review

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Prakash,

Nice proposal.

I'm surprised about your mention of Sugarizer Vue Activity Template: it's
very cool. It could be completed by a full implementation of the tutorial
in Vue.js.

Regarding the Curriculum activity, skills completed should be displayed in
a different way than skills uncompleted. i.e. the use should not have to
click on a skill to know if it's completed or not. I'm not sure what the
"Progress" button will show.

Regarding the Vote activity, I don't see the interest of "Time period or
expiry   date/time of poll": it will start/stop when the host determine it.
Same for "Max   number of votes allowed"; every user connected to the
activity should be able to vote.

Regards.

 Lionel

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2020 (Knowledge Activity Pack) Proposal Review Request

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Dhruv,

Good proposal with lot of information about how the activities will work
and how you will do it.

Few remarks:
- Regarding Curriculum activity. About generation in PDF/Word/ODT you've
miss the ODT part. I suggest you to take inspiration (or even retrieve
code) from Write activity where PDF/Word/ODT generation is implemented.
- Regarding Vote activity, I don't understand how a race-condition could
happen: presence is handle from the server side, not from the host (see
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/dev/docs/tutorial_step6.md#how-presence-works
)

Regards.

  Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Discussing GSOC project sugarizer knowledge activity pack

[Lionel Laské]

You're right. More precisely:

1) Yes, that's the idea. It's pretty similar to the way of working of
Exerciser. BTW it has no sense to play to the Vote activity alone. So, may
be the equivalent of the Play button in Exerciser activity could
automatically share the activity on the network.

2) The default is that users can't see the result immediately but we can
imagine a button on the organizer side that allow to let the user see in
real time the vote.

Regards.

   Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Regarding GSoC tasks in Sugarizer

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Utkarsh,

Sugarizer is currently agnostic regarding JavaScript frameworks.
Some activities are written in Vue.js (eBook Reader, Calligra), some
activities are written in ReactJS (Scratch, Exerciser), some activities are
written in Enyo (Abecedarium, TankOp, FoodChain, TamTam), most other
activities are written in VanillaJS with some specific JS framework
(CreateJS, Cytoscape, ...).
The only pre-requisite is to integrate require.js and sugar-web, see
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/master/docs/architecture.md
Sugarizer Core is written in Enyo.js. BTW it's more a way to structure the
code than a real dependency on UI, because the UI aspect is provided by
sugar-web. Since Enyo is (already) deprecated, migrating to Vue.js is in
the roadmap. But once again, the dependency should stay light. Plus, I'm in
favor to use an inline framework instead of a framework that need a backend
and a dev environment to be used. It's why I'm more interested by Vue.js
than by ReactJS/Angular.

Regarding GSoC ideas, Vue.js is recommended but not mandatory.
Specifically I think that Vue.js is more pertinent for Knowledge activity
pack than for Game activity pack where most the UI will probably depend of
canvas (at least for Tamgram).
So you're free to make a proposal without Vue.js. BTW if you integrate
Vue.js in your proposal, I suggest you to have a look on Calligra activity
that already propose and encapsulation of sugar web components (toolbar,
localization, ...) into Vue.js. The first task for GSoC students could be
to propose an Activity Template in Vue.js.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

 Lionel.

You're wrong. They can see which activities are validated and even see
proof of validation if there is some.
Think to this feature like a way to show your school report card - with
grade in each area - to other.

And see the current skills the child already acquire.

Once again, it's just to see the current skill the child already acquire.
The skill set will be shared by the teacher at the beginning of the year
(*) so every child should already have the same skill set. So sharing the
skill set using presence is not a way to retrieve the same skill set.


> Are their any other uses?
>

No other use case for the share feature.

   Lionel.

(*) By publishing it on the shared journal for example. The activity will
also propose some existing skill set (French Primary School, Montessori,
...) and the user should be able to retrieve a new skill set via an URL
(like the feature Library/Add library in Video Viewer activity).

Re: [Sugar-devel] Discussing GSOC project sugarizer knowledge activity pack

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Prakash,

1) No need for validation. It's a self declarative skill.

2) The idea is for a children to shared the activity with other (teacher or
children). In read-only mode.

Hope it helps.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel] Proposal: moving "assisting mentors" back to role for GSoC 2020

[Lionel Laské]

Hi James,

Thanks for this.

I think that assisting mentor notion has no sense.
We need to have one mentor that lead the project with some co-mentors to
supply him when/if he's unavailable. Each mentor could ask help or advice
to other members of the community if needed, we don't need to identify
these guys as "Assisting mentor".

As Stephanie said in the thread you mention: "Unfortunately some people
want to be a mentor because they think it will look good on their resume,
these are not the folks you want to be mentoring students.". I'm afraid
it's the same thing with "Assisting mentor".

Regards.

  Lionel.

Hi Swayam,

Thanks for your interest in Sugarizer and for your contributions.

Yes you're free to open issues on the Sugarizer repository.

The usual process is:
- Open the issue
- Wait for reviewers feedback
- Depending on feedback, open a PR to solve the issue.

Regards.

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for your interest in SugarLabs and Sugarizer.

You're welcome to communicate by mail with me and other mentors (Ashish and
Michaël, both in CC) on Sugarizer projects.

BTW I suggest you to choose one of this project because it's more than
unlikely that you could be able to make a proposal for all of them.
Once you've choose one, read attentively the "First steps to start section"
for this project on

Note also that to have a chance to be selected for activity pack projects,

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer Server Setup

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Steven,

You should first create the admin account using the add-admin.sh script.
See how to do that here:
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer-server/tree/dev#dashboard

Note that from Docker you will have to attach a shell to the running
container and use the right port.

The better way to start is to read and follow advises mentioned here:

Re: [Sugar-devel] About Scratch.activity

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Prakash,

The latest version of the Scratch for Sugarizer repos are here
https://github.com/llaske/Scratch.activity and here:
https://github.com/llaske/scratch-gui/tree/sugarizer
The idea of the integration is to include the full Scratch GUI into the
Sugarizer standard Activity Template. Then few ReactJS Sugarizer containers
and components are added in the Scratch GUI (hidden in the menu) to handle
storage in datastore and retrieving of assets offline.

If you're interested to learn more about writing Sugarizer activity with
ReactJS, I suggest you to study another Sugarizer activity written with
ReactJS, Exerciser. You could find the repo here:
https://github.com/llaske/ExerciserReact

Hope it helps.

Regards.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] sugarizer not working in chrome (Lionel Laské)

[Lionel Laské]

Nice to hear it works now.
Regarding your other question, if "make web activities" means "make
Sugarizer activities using Sugarizer development tutorial", you don't need
to be logged in Sugar.
If "make web activities" means "make Sugar activities for Sugar", yes you
will need to have a running Sugar environment.
In fact, as James said, Sugar and Sugarizer work separately so it should
not have conflict between Sugar/Sugarizer environment.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

  Lionel.

   account and handle their classrooms and students without a global view of
   the deployment.
   - Customizable Stats: Statistics view in dashboard is now fully
   customizable with more than 15 charts to understand all aspects of
   Sugarizer usage in your school.
   - Tutorial: The dashboard contains now a full tutorial to explain all
   features for all screens to admins and teachers.
   - Import/Export: The dashboard integrate import/export features to
   populate easily your database with new teachers and students accounts.
   - Improved UI: Columns sorting, more user friendly error messages,
   improved classroom view, more responsive IO, … the dashboard UI has been
   reviewed to be more usable by teachers/admins.
   - QRCode connection: Connect your Sugarizer application to your server
   in in few seconds by using the QR Code integrated within the dahsboard,
   - Unlimited storage: Database now support unlimited Journal size and
   Journal item up to 256mb,
   - Improved command line options: activate/desactivate logs, detect and
   show node.js version, … new options and features allow you to have more
   control on your server.

   generating PDF, ODT or DOC files.
   - Constellation activity: Constellation is a great offline planetarium
   that lets you see what is visible in the sky from any location on Earth.
   - Pomodoro activity: A nice countdown activity used to break down work
   into intervals separated by short breaks.
   - Improved Scratch activity: Scratch activity is now up to date with
   official Scratch v3.3. It support localization and could work fully in
   offline mode.
   - Improved Exerciser activity: The Exerciser activity now support multimedia

   - Improved stability: more than 40 fix and update on Sugarizer and
   activities.

A short animation of these features is visible here:
https://youtu.be/SK5ljkX3SCI

More than 1000 children use Sugarizer in schools today. Why not your
children?

Sugarizer 1.2  is available on your browser [1] but also for your Android,
iOS, Linux, MacOS or Windows device. Download it from : Google Play [2],
Amazon Store [3], Apple Store [4], F-droid [5], snapcraft [6] and if you
don't like stores, you could also install it by yourself using instructions
on the Sugarizer website [7].

On Android, Sugarizer could also replace your launcher with Sugarizer OS
[8].

And if you want to deploy Sugarizer Server for your school, follow
instructions here [9].

[Sugar-devel] Sugarizer no server mode

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

Since Sugarizer v1.0, Sugarizer Client [1] and Sugarizer Server [2] are
split and Sugarizer Server need a node.js and a MongoDB server.
Thought this configuration is a prerequisite to implement rich features
like Journal synchronization, collaboration and presence, I know it could
be complex for very small deployments (like testing on a tiny server like a
Raspberry PI Zero).

To solve this issue, I've decided to implement a "No Server mode" that
allow to expose Sugarizer on a web server without Sugarizer Server, so with
just a Apache, NGinx or Lighttpd server.

Of course, the drawback is a limited experience for the user: he/she will
lose all its work when the browser cache will be clear, It's not possible
to use collaboration feature and presence.

This feature is still in alpha and will be release with Sugarizer Client
v1.2.
In the meantime, I will be please to hear feedbacks from you.
More information here [3]

Best regards.

   Lionel.

You're right Alex, we didn't communicate a lot on it and there is no
"official communication", except on social networks.
So I've created a dedicated page on the Wiki to describe the deployment.
You could find it:
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugarizer_Saint-Ouen_deployment

If some of you have questions, I will be pleased to answer.

Best regards from France.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Outreach Plans 2019 - PyCon Cleveland (Tony Anderson)

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Tony,

+1 on this.

BTW Sugar/Python is not the only way to grow user base.
For your information, we're currently deploying Sugarizer in 3 schools in
the Saint-Ouen city near Paris. It means about 150 Android tablets with
Sugarizer OS installed on it, used by few hundred children.

Regards.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer_activities[phaser games]

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Akshat,

There is no restriction about JS Framework used for Sugarizer activities.
For example, some activities are written using ReactJS (Exerciser) our
Vue.js (Ebook-reader) and some use largely graphics (Constellation,
Scratch).
But the pre-requisite to respect the Sugar UI is to always have the toolbar.
Other pre-requisite are to try to use XO buddy colors to customize the UI,
to save the context in Journal and to use presence if collaboration is need.

Regards.

 Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] My GSoC Proposal: Let's Vue-tify.

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Sahil,

Thanks for your interest on Sugarizer and for your proposal.
You're right, porting Sugarizer to Vue.js is a project for the future. It's
why there is an issue for that.
However, because it's a very huge project and because there is no direct
benefit to our users, it's not planned now.
Plus, it will require to rewrite a large part of the code so it could be
done only by someone who is already a good contributor on the project and
your proposal is very light on the technical side of this large project.

Regards.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] SpellCheck for write activity project

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Jake,

Didn't know Talkify but Talkify seems to rely on a backend.
Because not all our users have access to Internet (or even to a server), my
preference is to use JavaScript libraries that could work offline.
It's why Speak is better thought its quality is worse than Talkify.

Regards.

[Sugar-devel] Customize your own Sugarizer APK

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

Some of you asked me how to customize (remove or add activities) the
Sugarizer Android APK.
The process is described here

but it require to install and configure an Android development environment
that's not a so easy task.

For our current Sugarizer deployment in schools of Saint-Ouen, I've just
packaged a small tool named "Sugarizer APK builder" to allow more easily to
customize the Sugarizer APK. Technically it's a docker container that
encapsulate Android SDK and tools required to build Sugarizer.
See more how and why to use it here:
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer-apkbuilder

This tool is currently in beta, so I will be please to hear feedbacks on it.

Best regards from France.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your interest on Sugarizer.
If you're running Sugarizer Server into Docker, the file to update is
env/docker.ini (not env/sugarizer.ini).
You could see (and eventually change) this settings here:
