[IAEP] [SoaS] Call for Testers (New Snapshot!)

[Caroline Meeks]

Results

Boots up fine. Love the sugar branding!

There are a lot fewer activities in the ring then SoaS1

Memorize, Speak, Moon, Turtle, Jigsaw puzzel, joke book, typing turtle,
cartoon builder, Finance, Freecell
- Work great. Sound works too

Browse
- "School" gives me an error.  I see why a school would want this link on
their system but it doesn't make sense to me to put out a page with a broken
link.
- The arrow flashes annoyingly when web pages are loading on my X40

eToys
- The screen flashes black a few times while it is loading its a bit
disconcerting

Maze
- The icon seems a bit bit in the circle

Calculator
- The font size and the curser seem a bit weird together. I took a picture.

Pippy
-The Run, Stop and Clear buttons are a bit cut off. I took a picture

Read
- Why have the read activity with nothing to read?



Story Builder,

I haven't seen it before. Very cool! The characters seem a bit pixilated,
are they supposed to look like that?

flipsticks
Either I am using it wrong or saving a firgure by clicking the bottom circle
does not work.


Bounce, Colors

did not start

IRC,
Seemed to connect, and I got a message that my laptop SoaS2 had entered the
room but I couldn't actually see what people said in the room or see what my
laptop said while I was in the room.

Yay! This is good! Its good enough for FOSSVT except for not having a
working collaboration server, but that's a different thread :)

*Here is my wish list.*

Add to favorites Ring:
Slider Puzzle, Jigsaw Puzzle, Story Builder, Typing Turtle, Cartoon Builder,


Take out of the favorites Ring
Log, Terminal. Read

Add a book or two for Read then add Read back to the favorites ring
Add Scratch and let me test it. It doesn't seem to be on the Activities
Portal yet.

Fix:
Colors, Flipsticks and IRC and add the to the favorites Ring


I'm open to dissenting opinions here, this is just my current impressions of
what would make a good demo stick.
