From 217a655763f1d7fb4b062857a0d065655faafb24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael O'Dell Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:38:50 +0000 Subject: Added chat transcript regarding meshing examples --- diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8d6a26f --- /dev/null +++ b/NEWS @@ -0,0 +1,37 @@ +7-19-2010 +Added a full GPL License V3 + +Added Mesh.py which currently is being implmented, I recieved these responses +from IRC regarding meshing: + + modell: Chat, Write, Calculate, Memorize, Arithmetic, Colors, Pippy, errrmm.... + Thanks garycmartin + modell: ... Browse, Turtle Blocks, Speak, EToys, Read + modell: The Journal can also be used to 'share with --> friend' any object in the Journal, some activities work better than others, mainly just need correct mime types set so that each end knows what object type is being shared. + modell: Journal example would be to create a Physics activity simulation (Physics doesn't yet directly support collaboration, it's on my todo list), switch to Journal where you'll see that activity object stored, then select 'share with --> friends_name' and your friend will receive a copy of your Physics simulation. + garycmartin I am working on a PopQuiz application where there is the quiz giver and quiz takers. + garycmartin: just so you know the scope of my questions + garycmartin: thanks for the info + modell: FWIW none of this _requires_ mesh networking capability, works equally well with standard wireless connections, ethernet, connections to a Jabber server. + modell: PopQuiz cool , yea I've seen your git commits go past :) + garycmartin: is there a "standard" api for networking with sugar + modell: I must admit it's not my strong point, but yes if you look at some of the above activities you'll see a pattern, let me just dig out one I particularly like (it abstracts much of the work away and basically keeps a 'document' in sync between multiple folks editing). + modell: http://bemasc.net/~bens/groupthink/ + Awesome garycmartin + modell: Pretty sure Arithmetic, and the latest Pippy release use it.
