justin.tv on the XO

Has anyone tried to get the XO to broadcast using justin.tv with Adobe
Flash installed?
If it works, it would make for a great live broadcaster.

Curious before I try it out...not sure if Browse will be allowed to
take over the camera and the mic.

I've tried it in Browse and Firefox, it got up to the point where
Adobe Flash asks me if I want to give Justin.tv camera/mic access, and
then the Flash cam/mic access popup UI somehow made it impossible to
click (or tab/space to) the Allow button.

Whether this is even possible is another good question.

It's worked for me in the past with older build versions, but I haven't tested it recently.

Was this in Browse, or the Firefox package? I'm assuming you had Adobe
Flash on it as well.

[Sugar-devel] Migrating the HIG

Just a quick heads up that I will be migrating the HIG from laptop.org
to sugarlabs.org.

The steps will be
1. pull DesignTeam/Hig/Sugar/* from sl.o
2. delete DesignTeam/Hig/Sugar/* from sl.o
3. pull  OLPC Human Interface Guidelines from lt.org
4. merge deltas between the sugarlabs and laptop pages.
5. upload merged pages to sl.org
--
6.  fix sl.o  templates as necessary
7. update sl.o links as necessary
--
8. work with SJ to add notices and redirects as necessary to lt.org

My bot is set so that it only accesses a page every 6 - 10 seconds so
the load should not be too noticeable.

The migration is complete.  The Hig is now at

http://sugarlabs.org/go/DesignTeam/Human_Interface_Guidelines

The translation templates are still screwed up.
Any other bugs please let me know or file a bug against the wiki

Once I am sure the the hig on sl.org is good I will work with SJ to
add redirects to lt.org.

Any other migration requests?  If so, please ping me so we can work
with OLPC to make the moves.

[Sugar-devel] activites known not to either work at all or not on certin platforms

ok? I guess this will be contreversial but it must be said and acted
upon (much more importantly)

Im gonna try and make this easy:

SoaS - the latest fedora core based
I tried to impress my 9 year old gescwister... (related one)
Speak - it will not even launch.... why is it then on a disitributed stick?

ubuntu -
no read
no write
no jiggzawpuzzle
etoys
scratch
epathi
measure
anything tam tam based
until very recently even browse
pdf reader of any kind
measure
distance
slider
video chat
abc flower (thing doesnt even exist)

ok, that is about 50% of the failed testtube babies...

what is the solution:

we test the damn tings before release.... we do what greg
dekoenigsberg quite elegantly suggested. a 3 tier solution:

1. make an educator mailinglist.... we get every educator we know on
the list. We start off the discussion with what is really needed...
the simple stuff... the stuff u guru coders can whip up in days:
Examples:

1. typing tutor... all it should do is allow kids to follow whatever
the teacher is directing. speed of typing is recorded? accuracy; graph
based report; printable to parents... stars given to best pupils...

guys these are real world scenarios... not invented by devs.. asked
for by teachers qnd not surprisingly thinking why it does not yet
exist.

2 same for maths... times tables/division/addition/substraction....
groupings of kids, reports, printibale to both parents ant teachers...

2. (gdk) guys this is what teachers want... I reallly hate to say
this; but the stuff right now on sugar apart from speak, which when
working every teacher loves, is an absolute waste of educators time...
yes the activities can be properly used... but basics first! mailing
list to get the, involved; we mention the activities that we (welll
actually they) have come up with, we discuss very briefly;

3: (gdk)then make a moodle/wiki page where educators and devs get
together to create the tools that we actually need (the ones that will
really chqnge the world)

I hope no one takes this is as a critcism of the effort put into
creating activities till now; but people... lets frocus... lets sugar
mean something for teachers
