over the next few days. I'll also work to set a time for our

I personally prefer 'Sugar' over 'Sugarland'. The latter seems a bit
like another world, where I think people want to be educated to
succeed in the real one.
SugarLand might appeal more to children. But then we would also want
to make the UI less focused and more like a video game, which I don't
Ck12 is django based as far as I know. Not sure about the front end. I
don't think it is open source software though. Just content.

Maybe instead of choosing one format for activities just add to

I just posted Version 1 of a new Activity, TAPortfolio
(http://sugarlabs.org/wiki/images/2/2d/TAPortfolio-1.xo). It is a
presentation tool based on TurtleArt that allows you to make
"powerpoint-like" presentations from documents found in your Journal.
I've not written up much documentation for it y
Hello
My suggestion is that you try working with Ubuntu and install the sugar
packages, they are pretty decent for developing..
Also you can check the new Activity team at sugar labs for resources.

Hope this helps.

Count me in as well. This is a wonderful idea and could very well be
what is necessary to make the wish list of Activities proposals real.

I revisited this discussion with Simon on IRC some time back.
There are 2 things before this Activity would be considered prime for inclusion

the sound functions
This is great - I had a lot of fun playing around with this!
And the colors are cool too!
A minor thing - the pitch one doesn't seem to be working... I will try and
look into this to figure out why.
