[somos-azucar] [IAEP] Gamification in Sugar Network

[Sebastian Silva]

/* en español abajo */
Hi,
One proposal to evidence the value of "interactions" within the Sugar Network
user interface is to count, for each context, and to show them in the interface
as such:

 1 interaction = 1 "Sun" badge

This is to continue with the icons "Star" - "Moon" - "Sun".

To better understand this in reference to Sugar Network, with "interactions" we
mean contributions of feedback or support resources users provide within the
network.

Not every interaction has been implemented graphically yet but for reference 
here are the high level conceptual documentation:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network/Concept

And the low level Objects Model that sustains it at this time:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Objects_model

Feedback at this point is appreciated as we prepare to launch at scale.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hola,
Una propuesta para evidenciar el valor de las "interacciones" dentro de la 
interfase de usuario Red Azúcar es contarlos, para cada contexto y mostrarlos:

    1 interacción = 1 medalla "Sol"

Esto sería consistente con los íconos "Estrella" - "Luna" y "Sol".

Para mejor entender esto en relación con la Red Azúcar, por "interacción" nos
referimos a las contribuciones en recursos de retroalimentacion y soporte que
los usuarios proveen dentro de la red.

Todavía no hemos implementado todas las interacciones graficamente pero aquí
está la documentación de nivel conceptual:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network/Concept

Y aquí el Modelo de Objetos tecnológico que los sustenta en este momento:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Objects_model

La retroalimentación en este punto es apreciada mientras nos preparamos
para un lanzamiento a gran escala.

Saludos
Sebastian
