<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Rishabh Nambiar,<br>
<br>
The critical feature of your proposal is to provide a dedicated
RPI method to make Sugarizer available to a classroom set of XOs
via the ad hoc networks.<br>
Technical skills at a deployment are minimal so simplicity is
vital. What is needed is an image which can be copied to an sd
chip ready for use. Ansible and other tools can be used, of
course, to make the image.<br>
<br>
Despite Sugar's emphasis on collaboration, almost nothing has been
done to characterize performance of the ad hoc networks in
sustained use such as you propose. You will need to make
arrangements with an XO deployment to test your image in a
classroom setting to determine how many XOs can be supported using
Sugarizer concurrently with acceptable response. <br>
<br>
Does it matter if all the XOs are connected to the same network,
e.g. Ad hoc 6? Would it be better to distribute the laptops across
the three networks? How do the laptops connect to the Sugarizer
server? <br>
<br>
You may need to have a Sugarizer icon which can be joined by the
XOs, emulating the current collaboration mechanism. The current
versions of Sugar show the user his own url on the ad hoc network
but not the url of the server. It may be possible to give the
server a fixed url which could be accessed from the Browse
activity. Currently the links in the Browse are given by a web
page stored in /home/olpc/.library_pages on the XO. Changing that
would require each XO to be updated. Alternatively, perhaps each
user could be instructed to use <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://192.168.1.1">http://192.168.1.1</a> (i.e. the url
of the server) and then to make that url the initial page for
Browse. This will require simple and clear instructions which the
teacher can provide to the students.<br>
<br>
Most GSOC projects attempt too much and so end up only partially
complete. This project should be mentored by Lionel Laske or a
colleague to ensure that it can be completed and the result made
available to the community. This is an important initiative.
Currently in Rwanda there are more that 50,000 students with
access to XOs but no access to a schoolserver or to the internet.<br>

It would be great if I could get some feedback and pointers for
improvements.<br>
This is only a draft and your input will be really important for
my final proposal!<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
