Last Wednesday we had an IRC meeting for analyzing which tools would be useful to build for the community. Meeting log is in <a href="http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-01-26T21:06:33" target="_blank">http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-01-26T21:06:33</a>. Here are my highlights:<div>
<br></div><div>Centralized Authentication (CAS)</div><div><ul><li>The current multitude of accounts for services at Sugar Labs (and related organisations) is considered an obstacle to participation. We should work on a seamless / automatic log-in system, though the priority of this is not yet clear</li>
<li>Sascha is already working on CAS for <a href="http://sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">sugarlabs.org</a> sites, so it's an ongoing project (he'll write up an overview of how his imagined "seamless login" system is going to work, so others are able to join the effort if they like to)</li>
</ul></div><div>Metadata, data aggregation and search tools:</div><div><ul><li>The holly grial would be to have a centralized aggregator where one could see at a glance what's happening around in the community. Even better if all information was correctly tagged. However, it's not easy to implement the idea. </li>
<li>This would be useful for all kind of users (developers, educators, ...). For instance JT4sugar suggests for information around Teaching is to have information separated into Age/Grade level. </li>
</ul></div><div>Other ideas suggested:</div><div><ul><li>Making a portal for sharing info</li><li>autotranslation of some of the mailing lists, like sur->sur-en and iaep->iaep-es (we already have a web-to-IRC gateway and IRC translation, both courtesy of alsroot)</li>
<li>share/maintain list of known blogs, so bloggers can screen and promote what they find interesting</li></ul></div><div>Next meeting: We're continuing the discussion next Wednesday at the same time (9PM UTC, 4PM EST) in #sugar-meeting.</div>
