[IAEP] evolution or revolution? .....android+sugar+doors => oui?

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Scott,
Well, I can't help with the programming, but I can help with testing! I'll have to get an Android device first, but that isn't a problem! This is a wonderful project as many schools are moving to a "bring your own device" mode for students and using handhelds is the "in" thing though, unfortunately, Mostly for Apple devices (see the link below for an example of a small conference done by CUELA this June).

I've done a little work on sugar->android pathways, including a (still incomplete) port of gtk3 to android.  The primary tasks would be: 1) gtk/python container to run gtk3/py-gobject activities unmodified in Android; 2) reimplementation of Journal as Android service (using intents); 3) (optional):implementation of an Android home screen service to mimic the tradition "4 zoom" interface of sugar.  There are no technical blockers as far as I can see.  The collaboration infrastructure might also need to be revisited or reimagined, but many sugar activities do not use the collaboration apis.

I am eager to discuss this further with anyone interested in doing the work.  I've been developing/deploying on an android platform since the beginning of the year.  Lots of info in my blog, too.
