[Sugar-devel] Some activities to fix (or check) for F11-0.88

[Bernie Innocenti]

Hello Jorge,

I know activities are low-priority now, but when you have time it would
be good to try to fix these activities with known problems:


       com.laptop.Ruler,

The ruler is scaled incorrectly (since Sugar 0.84)


       com.socialtext.SocialCalcActivity,

This one has startup problems (since Sugar 0.84) due to a hard-coded
timeout to synchronize the Python part with the JavaScript part. There
are also bugs in charts. OLPC dropped it from their builds.


       org.worldwideworkshop.PollBuilder,
       org.worldwideworkshop.olpc.JigsawPuzzle,
       org.worldwideworkshop.olpc.SliderPuzzle,

These are simply untested on 0.88. They might work out of the box. Do we
want PollBuilder in the default installation of F11-0.88?


	org.laptop.AcousticMeasure (aka Distance)

It is said to work badly on the XO-1.5. But did it ever work well? While
we cannot expect the method used by Distance to yield very accurate
results, but in the past I've always seen pseudo-random numbers even
with the X-1.


       tv.alterna.Clock

This one does not make much sense until we set the time from ntp (no
need to test it)
