Hi SoaS people, So the current Sugar Activity list for SoaS-4 stands as follows with the justifications as to why they're included.
The basic idea is to include the core Sucrose/Fructose Activity list (as long as they are actively maintained and work) and then a small selection of Activities that are well supported and demonstrate the features of the Sugar Learning platform such as the collaboration side of it to contribute towards the K-6 side of SoaS's targets. So the core sugar Fructose activities [1] list is: Browse Chat EToys Log Pippy Read Terminal TurtleArt Write These ones are also on the Fructose list but I'm not sure of their status so we need to be convinced of their status: Calculate Image/ImageViewer Jukebox To the Fructose list we're adding: Physics - Because this is a great demo example (quick demo). Record - Because its useful and kids tend to like recording/photoing stuff. xoirc - Because this helps us help them. paint - K-6 and enjoyed by kids memorize - K-6 and enjoyed by kids speak - Good for voice demos So the current planned inclusion list is as follows: Browse Chat EToys Log Pippy Read Terminal TurtleArt Write Physics Record xoirc paint memorize speak That currently gives us a list of 15 Activities. Its obviously not the final list and I look forward to suggestions. Its not guaranteed the above list remain the same. For example Read still does not work. And we're not aiming to get to the same level of previous releases, its currently not maintainable with the current SoaS resources. Things to note are that the Activities need to be working, well maintained, packaged in Fedora to be considered. To be in Fedora they can't contain any binary blobs (if they have code that needs to be compiled, that's fine but it must be done as per Fedora packaging guidelines). Regards. Peter Note, please forward this if you think its important to other lists but the discussion will happen on the SoaS list.
