Hi Walther,<div><br></div><div><a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Resources">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Resources</a> links to options for setting up Activity development environment on Windows, Linux and MacOS X. Briefly: For Linux hosts you can use native packages, jhbuild or a virtual machine. The best Windows and Mac option is VirtualBox. The resources page also links to various tutorials, wiki pages, and other references that are useful when learning Activity development.</div> <div><br></div><div>Regarding automated testing, please check the Sugarbot project at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/sugarbot/">http://code.google.com/p/sugarbot/</a>. It looks like it's been idle for about a year, and I'm not sure what stage of completion it reached (who was the mentor btw?), but it may make a good starting point!</div> <div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Wade<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 8:57 AM, Walther Neuper <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:neuper@ist.tugraz.at">neuper@ist.tugraz.at</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi Tomeu,<br> <br> thank you for your mail !<br> <br> You ask:<br> <div class="im">> Can you give us some more details about what do you plan to develop<br> > and how do you expect it to be deployed?<br> </div>Christoph Derndorfer established a project in Austria, where 25 kids of<br> 8-9 years got XOs in 2008.
