Written by

Young Coders.
Spent the day at the International Forum on e-Learning and Standardization at which Walter suggested I present. 10 minute general introduction on the project. I'm told all the presentations were being recorded and should show up online at some point.
Rest of the day spent mostly in answering questions for people. I'm getting toward exhausted ...

Went to the opening of the conference today. Speaker was the new Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. He mentioned various programmes for providing texts, and eventually (maybe) computer access to the communities and reserves in the North. He was talking about schemes such as having computers in the libraries that could be checked out, or maybe ...

Shoes producing blisters during break-in. Music for the ceremony still needs to get sorted out. Ceremony practise never got done. Rides to the (rather ...

I'm wondering, is anyone actively working on porting the Sugar/Fedora7 environment to the various other inexpensive machines? What about to thin-client Linux solutions? Probably it would work loosely on anything Debian based via the work that people have been doing on Ubuntu porting for sugar-jhbuild.
I realise that the 1CC folks are all busy with ...
Documentation and Auto-documentation (My day in tracking things down...)
Written by

Young Coders.
Spent the first 8 or so hours of the day tracking down documentation, creating auto-generated documentation and the like. Results are on the Tutorials and API Reference pages on the wiki.
Then sat down to work on making a simple API documentation system that's template based. Working off epydoc's introspection mechanism for that. So far ...
