<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>During the 2012 Google code-in Lionel wrote a nice chapter for MYOSA on making Activities using HTML 5 and WebKit. I have been slowly and steadily updating the other chapters in the book to use Sugar 3 and GTK 3. I have not updated the website with the latest changes because I don't want the book to be in a half-done state, but I have been making steady progress.<br>
<br></div>One thing I have noticed from lurking on this mailing list is that HTML 5 and Sugar have made a lot of progress since that chapter was written. I get the impression that what is written there may already be obsolete. I also feel that I'm not the guy who can fix that. I did a fair amount of Activity development before writing MYOSA but I've drifted away from it since then.<br>
<br></div>I believe that HTML 5 is going to be a big deal for Sugar and that MYOSA needs to have some new or updated chapters to reflect that. I am hoping that some of you might contribute this content.<br><br></div>As for my own updates, some of them might be published in a couple of weeks.<br>
<br></div>Working on this book has been a rewarding experience for me. I consider it part of my own Constructionist education. Since finishing it I have been involved in writing or publishing many other books. I have transcribed books for Project Gutenberg and Project Gutenberg Canada. I have scanned a bunch of books for the Internet Archive, using a scanner I designed and built myself. I updated a memoir of my days among the Hare Krishnas that had been on a shelf for 30 years and published it, getting five star reviews on Amazon. I have formatted for publishing a twelve volume illustrated English edition of <i>The Mahabharata</i>, the great epic of India. I have written a science fiction novel and am working on a second one.<br>
<br></div>I am not suggesting that contributing HTML 5 chapters to this book will change your life. However, it definitely changed mine.<br><br></div>James Simmons<br><br></div>
