<div dir="ltr">All,<div><br></div><div>I only meant to make the manual actually tell where we currently put our code repositories, without rewriting the whole chapter. (I had hoped that a Google Code-In mentee might do that, but it didn't happen). The one piece of information that is still lacking is how to have your account added to the sugarlabs organization. That happened so long ago that I forgot how it happened. If someone could remind me I'll add that information to the note.</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't done any Sugar development in years but I do program computers for a living and I use Git in my day job.</div><div><br></div><div>Sugar has some good Activities to teach programming, but I don't think it is a great Activity development platform. For that you really need files and directories and a command shell, the ability to run Sugar as more than one user at a time, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>I understand the desire to use Sugar for everything, but I think it would always get in the way. You wouldn't expect to be able to develop an iphone app on an iphone, or at least I wouldn't.</div><div><br></div><div>If I wanted to teach Activity development to children I'd get some reconditioned desktop computers and install Fedora and Sugar on them. I have used nothing but reconditioned computers myself for years. It is amazing to me what you can get reconditioned on Amazon and elsewhere for around a hundred bucks. This is basically my price range for a "new" computer, and for that I can get a Lenovo or other quality brand with more than adequate disk space and memory. These computers are built for use in offices and have many years of life left in them. In Fedora you can run Sugar as a desktop environment as well as in a window. You can hook them up to a TV or a projector (something I remember many people wanted to do with the XO).</div><div><br></div><div>I don't see ASLO being separate from Git as a problem. I think of it like the production environment at work. If it's good enough to use it goes on ASLO. If not, it stays in Git, but I might push my code to the central repository so others could fool around with it.</div><div><br></div><div>Part of teach a child programming should be teaching him good work habits, and I think our current setup promotes that.</div><div><br></div><div>James Simmons</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 9:28 AM, Laura Vargas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:laura@somosazucar.org" target="_blank">laura@somosazucar.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">2017-03-14 7:13 GMT-05:00 Walter Bender <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com" target="_blank">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><span>On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 12:45 AM, Tony Anderson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tony_anderson@usa.net" target="_blank">tony_anderson@usa.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I would think ASLO could simply be made to inspect the contents of
an activity, upon upload, (since it’s just a zip file), and look
for the necessary string within <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a>, such
that it could be displayed under a “details” section of an
Activity, within ASLO. </blockquote>
<br>
What I propose is that the ASLO page have a link to the github
repository. See the attached screenshot which shows a link to home
page. I would see this link being added here.<span class="m_7726506093757599830m_7517597654755239133HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>+1.
