[Sugar-devel] Experiment with Art4Apps

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Gonzalo,

Nice idea. I even didn't know it was possible :-)
Guess that it means that it could be integrate directly into Sugar ?

Few remarks however:
- May be it could be interesting to integrate sounds too.
- Repeating the complete path prefix of images in words.json should be
avoided (generate a bigger JSON file).
- Grouping words by categories is not necessarily a good idea. In
Abecedarium for example, I need handling words both by categories and by
starting letter so I had to use an indirection.

Regarding use in Abecedarium, it depends. My objective is to adapt
Abecedarium to transform it as a SugarWeb Activities so any system related
link is potentially a constraint...

Best regards from France.

        Lionel.
