Sorry for sending this again, but due to last minute events and the
absence of activity on the sugar IRC channel last Friday, we will redo a
demo tomorrow (Thursday Nov 4th) at 9h30 AM EST. We will hang around on
the sugar channel and chat with interested people. A copy of the mail
sent last week is shown below.
See you tomorrow,

As discussed before, Tutorius is a
project done by 9 students from Université de Sherbrooke (Québec,
Canada) aiming to integrate interactive tutorials inside Sugar to guide
Sugar users in learning the platform and its activities. Our goal for
december is to be able to cover most of the content of the Floss manual.
We are doing this along 3 axis:
- Execution: Add the mecanisms needed to Sugar to support execution
of tutorials
- Creation: Provide tools to create tutorials from within Sugar in
a GUI environment
- Sharing: Provide a platform to share tutorials on the web
We have shown demos in the past of basic capabilities (in chronological
order), here,
here
and at a presentation
given last April.
Next Friday, we will hang around on IRC at 13h EST and give a live demo
of the current state of the project using Yuuguu or something
equivalent, with an execution engine running in a separate process than
the activity, an overhauled tutorial creator (still running inside the
activity process) and maybe a quick overview of the sharing platform
based around the addon sharing platform from Mozilla.
We would like to exchange ideas with people and discuss technical
matters with the following goals:
- Receive feedback on the work done so far
- Discuss the possible integration of our system with Sugar, the
SugarLabs sharing platform and the official release cycle
- Anticipate possible evolutions
- Exchange ideas and pointers to similar work and papers to inspire
ourselves and avoid duplicating research efforts
Our team will disband around mid-december, but I'll keep maintaining
the project and there might be possibilities for another team of 6-8
people from Université de Sherbrooke to push the project further in
January for another year. It would be really exciting to see a
collaboration with SugarLabs continue in the future!
For those interested in a more technical view of the inner working of
the system, see Tutorius
Architecture, especially the Component
section.
See you on IRC on Friday at 13h EST!
