<div dir="ltr"><div> </div>Hi Gaurav (and others interested by the this GSoC project),<div> </div><div>The start point for the project is to have a good understanding of: what is Sugar, what is Sugar Web Framework and how the interface between Sugar for Python and Sugar for JavaScript works. Note that you'll need both a good knowledge of JavaScript but, because the project is to interface Cordova with Sugar, you'll have to dig into some Python code too. Here some reading that I could suggest to you: - [1] Describe the architecture of Sugar for the web. - [2] Is the description of the last year GSOC project that was precisely on enhance the Sugar Web interface. - [3] Is the blog of Suraj the last year GSOC student - and will co-mentoring with me, he described in detail difficulties that you could probably meet too. - [4] Sugarizer is a port of Sugar in HTML5/JavaScript, it's the good introduction to Sugar. Plus the Cordova PhoneGap will have to work inside Sugarizer too. - [5] Explain how to create a Sugar development environment. It's a pre-requisite to work on the project. - [6] Explain how to add a new Cordova platform, basically, it's the work to do. - [7] is this mailing list, you should explore archives regarding Sugar Web Framework.

I was looking at the ideas list and the Cordova container for sugar interested me. I have had experience in Python, HTML, Javascript and consider myself fluent in them. I have been using them as a part of major college coursework and other projects of mine.I have had been developing web applications using web2py,GAE. I have used phonegap once to convert a web app to an android app. Here is my github profile <<a href="https://github.com/gauravp94" target="_blank">https://github.com/gauravp94</a>> that contain the projects that I have successfully completed till now. I have been an active contributor for the Sugarlabs community since a few months. (I have done a few small bug fixes and also added a verbosity feature for sugar-toolkit-gtk3 and also reported some bugs and added some points to the docs.) It would be great, it someone could clarify some of my questions. I am not clear on -- 1. How should I approach this project, make web activities or look at the Cordova code and ask the Cordova folks on how to make a new container. 2. Any other useful pointers for the project, that might help? 3. Any existing documentation/ code that has been done in regard to this project? Till then, I will be looking at the code for web activities in sugar and also make a sample web activity. As soon as I get some instructions, I will get on to work on it and keep this thread updated about my progress. Thanks, Gaurav (gp94 on IRC) PS - I have another thread on the mailing lists regarding the Platipy project, since I don't want things to get mixed up.So, I have created this thread. ******************************************* </blockquote></div> </div></div></div></div>
