Hello James, I feel identified with what Walter described so I dare to answer. I'm from Uruguay and I'm thirteen years old. I'm one of the activity developers in transition to Sugar contributor. I don't know other young Sugar contributors outside Uruguay, so I'll tell you about the situation here. About one year ago, children made activities often as a hobbie, that activities had not a reasonable aim and they weren't very well integrated with Sugar. Some examples: Agubrowser by Agustin Zubiaga: This activity was based on webkit when Browse used python-hulahop (gecko). http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4419 Sugar File Manager by Ignacio Rodríguez and me: Based on Sugar Commander and JAMexplorer, with some improvements. http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4494 Actually, we make activities thinking in its utility, but our aim is still learn with what we do. I leave here some of the activities that make us feel proud: TerronesWeeper: A "mines" game for CeibalJAM!, the Uruguayan OLPC community, which is represented with a Terrón[1]. http://activities.sugarlabs.org//en-US/sugar/addon/4520 Chart: Made with help of adults and now available at the official OLPC build. http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4534 Graph Plotter: Mathematical function plotter. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Graph_Plotter JAMath: Other game for CeibalJAM. I'm not sure, but I think this activity is only available in Spanish. http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4595 Sorry if I forget other activities. Cheers, Daniel.
