I think this project often makes the perfect into the enemy of the good. Consequently we end up having less collaboration than, e.g., any system in the last 10 years that could install vnc server, while claiming that collaboration is a principal focus of the project.<br>

I think some simplistic automatic collaboration being built into Sugar, has been discussed, possibly even prototyped. <div><br></div><div>Just a matter of engineering motivation/time perhaps.<div><br></div><div><font color="#888888">-Wade</font><div>

I'm guessing someone has already suggested this on some list or other, but in my experience kids like to watch over each other's shoulder, and a default collaboration of "everyone watches, one person types" vnc would in my opinion be the 80 of a collaboration 80-20 rule. I think this ought to be implemented in the sugar infrastructure, and then let activities that have an obvious extended collaboration (such as two person games or shared authorship documents) do something more.<br>

First, I want to praise whoever put together the Sugar packages for<br>
Fedora 10. After struggling with Xubuntu and with sugar-jhbuild on<br>
openSUSE I finally have a sugar test environment where everything seems<br>
to work! It was well worth wiping out my openSUSE install and starting<br>
over with a new distribution. I'll probably do the same to my Xubuntu<br>
box eventually.<br>
<br>
Second, now that I have this I want to perfect collaboration on my two<br>
Activities, Read Etexts and View Slides. Unfortunately, I am convinced<br>
that collaboration in View Slides that involves sending large Zip<br>
archives over the network is not and never will be practical. What I'm<br>
thinking about now is making the person "sharing" a slide show see only<br>
the image being viewed on the XO that has the full presentation. The<br>
master XO would page through the slides and those sharing would follow<br>
along. I'm not sure that's practical, either.<br>
<br>
While I'm figuring this out, what I'd really like to do is release a<br>
version of View Slides that has no collaboration at all. This would<br>
mean hiding the control on the Activity toolbar that supports<br>
collaboration. When I figure out something intelligent to do with<br>
collaboration I'll restore it. Is this possible, and how would I go<br>
about doing it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
