[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2013: Project sharing website

[Akshit Khurana]

Hi,

I was working on my proposal on Project sharing website and wanted to
discuss a few things before writing the timeline:

Please take a look at the draft proposal so far:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2013/Project_sharing_website

1. In what ways can the landing pages be different for different audiences
(kids, teachers, parents, etc.) ?
I was thinking kids and parents would be focused on projects whereas
tutorials could be focused on teachers' landing pages.

2. On the ideas page is "Section to share kid created art from projects"
different from "as ability to post from activities". I just wanted to
clarify that the posted projects from activities would go to the section
for sharing, right?

3. Ability to have “private classroom spaces”
Does this cover step by step tutorials? I was thinking of projects starting
from scratch and moving in steps
Pictures, videos, chat?

It would be great if members of the community could also talk about the
impact of this project on Sugar Lab's community, which needs to be included
as part of the proposal.

Thanks,
Akshit
