Re: [Sugar-devel] processing.js - tool to replace flash in websites [KARMA]

thanks for the reality check ;). Processing.js is probably overkill for
the simple stuff we need to do. It is easy to get distracted w/
high-quality animations when what we need are simple animations that are
very responsive to the user.
I have fallen in love w/ the default jQuery selector engine. It is
pretty darn fantastic.
Actually Sizzle *is* the default jQuery CSS selector engine. From the
jQuery source:
* Sizzle CSS Selector Engine - v0.9.3

* Released under the MIT, BSD, and GPL Licenses.
* More information: http://sizzlejs.com/
Notice the Dojo copyright attribution!
It's hard to keep these frameworks apart these days. I've also seen
YUI attributing Resig amongst others in some ajax code, Resig reacting
on a Mootools mailing-list post. Aren't they supposed to compete with
each-other? Damn hippies.

Processing.js is a port of Processing (JVM) and it doesn't really have
anything to do with jQuery. It uses canvas as a backend for drawing
things, so it needs recent enough browsers.Try it in a webkit browser
or Chrome. They're much faster for most things than Firefox.
I don't know if the abstraction Processing.js offers over plain
canvas is useful for Karma or it's just overhead.
jQuery already has a selector engine ( called by $('bla') ), afaik
Sizzle is supposed to be a jQuery-independent selector engine. I don't
think it has much use outside of creating js libraries.

Hey Subzero,
I just came across this blog post from John Resig, the creator of
jQuery. He kicked off a processing.js to replace flash for animations. I
am not really sure how it relates to jQuery
http://processingjs.org/
he also has a new project sizzle that is a CSS3 selector engine
http://sizzlejs.com/
frankly, I don't actually know what a CSS3 selector engine is or what
CSS3 selectors are but looks interesting
http://processingjs.org/exhibition
here are some demos. Interesting thing is that these demos really rev my
CPU. I have a centrino dual-core 2 GHz. Firefox chews up 70% of my
processor. However, when I stream Youtube Firefox also often chews up
50% of my processor so not sure if firefox is at fault or processing.js

Re: [Sugar-devel] sugar on a stick latest version

The one in the wiki page is an ISO image, whereas the one in http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-February/011456.html are a .img + .crc files. The fedora liveusb-creator seems to take ISO images, so how can we do a stick with sugar from *.img and *.crc files? Perhaps I'm taking your problem to general. I haven't yet tried to make a (? - 'a sugar' just sounds wrong) SoaS. But I don't think you need the .crc file. A .crc file is just used in a general mechanism (cyclic redundancy check) to check if your download (or whatever) hasn't been corrupted. For the purpose of making a (?) SoaS (Also soas is the plural (debatable) of the term the Dutch use for 'sexually transferrable disease'. Not so sure if the distro will catch on in the nether'-regions) you can just as well forget about the .crc file. /Ties ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

So maybe the jhbuild dir needs to be deleted first, then git-pull in the sugar-jhbuild dir and then ./sugar-jhbuild update? On a clean sugar-jhbuild there isn't even a jhbuild dir. And indeed then git tries to pull in jhbuild. As you can see from Alex's post, git can't. Again, there is no git.gnome.org/jhbuild. The path is wrong (changed perhaps recently?).

[Sugar-devel] control panel
We'd like to have the controlpanel updater translated to Nepali, but it seems sugar-update-control.po isn't in glucose 8.2. It is in glucose though, we're translating it right now, but my guess is that the two of them have nothing to do with each other. Is it still possible to put the .po file in 8.2?

A general request for all activities was the ability to have an admin view/session that the teacher could use to follow scores, assignment of individual objects of a particular activity and their layout, and the users themselves. This would be something like a monitoring tool. I've been working on a Typing Tutor for the past few months, it's called Typing Turtle. I hope to have a first general release in the next month or so. http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/TypingTurtle-6.xo (check the folder for updates in the future) Yea, try out Wade''s tutor, it's pretty cool, and advancing rapidly.
