Indeed, the idea of this activity come from Bastien Guerry when it worked with teachers to prepare the first Haïti deployment.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>> I may take a shot at entering my own family geneology (which has been traced back to the mid-1600's on my mother's side.) as a test case :-)<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Can’t wait to see that :-) In my initial brainstorm I thought to support the “standard” GEDCOM format. However, I want to keep the activity very simple, not to compete with existing genealogic software. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>> One small note about the upload to ASLO, I think something was not configured correctly.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>You’re right, I miss something. Thanks @Gonzalo to fix it.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>> As you seek to refine Roots in later versions, I would very much appreciate it if you would consider working on internationalization<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>It’s already the case. The activity is wrote in English but have already a localization file in French. So, there is a POT file and a first fr.po file here: <a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/roots/master/trees/master/po">http://git.sugarlabs.org/roots/master/trees/master/po</a> <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>One more thing: it’s the first activity I develop with Python/PyGTK and I must say that it’s really a pleasure to do it. It’s great to see how most things are easy to do in Sugar and how we could benefit from the work done on existing activity (Labyrinth, A toi de jouer, Paint, Memory for me - to name a few).<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Note also than I’m a Windows developer. So I wrote a “Sugar dummy library” to allow developing/debugging the activity on PyGTK Windows (without Sugar…). It’s a very partial work but It could interest some other Windows developers (<a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/roots/master/blobs/master/sugardummy.py">http://git.sugarlabs.org/roots/master/blobs/master/sugardummy.py</a>).<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p> Lionel.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p></div></div></div></body></html>
