Hi everybody :)<br>
<br>
While updating the Tux Paint website file, I just tripped over this string:<br>
<br>
> Owners of the One Laptop per Child \"XO-1\" can download a build of Tux Paint that runs on their device.<br>
<br>
Tux Paint is an excellent app. for kids of all ages (3-103) and fully translated into many languages, including Vietnamese. Are we using it? If not, how about putting a web-link on the desktop?<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/xo/" target="_blank">http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/xo/</a><br>
<br>
(It's still 41 MB, so instead of downloading in countries like Vietnam, we might need it on CD or USB stick.)<br>
<br>
Bill, thanks for working with OLPC on this. :)<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>Dear Clytie,<br><br>As the XO laptop basically has a cut down version of Fedora Linux running under the hood as the OS, below the Sugar UI, it is possible to create versions of many FOSS programs that will download and run in Sugar environments (as .xo bundles) through a process called Sugarization. It appears that this has been done for Tux Paint.<br>
<br>There is a Sugar Labs wiki page on Tux Paint:<br><a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Tux_Paint">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Tux_Paint</a><br><br>A version is hosted for download as a .xo file in ASLO (<a href="http://acitivities.sugarlabs.org">acitivities.sugarlabs.org</a>)<br>
<a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4088">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4088</a><br><br>and it's code resides in the Sugar Labs git repo<br><a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/tux-paint">http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/tux-paint</a><br>
<br>where alsroot (Aleksey Lim, a prolific Sugar activity maintainer) is the maintainer and it looks like tvoverbeek also has commit privs.<br><br>The Sugar Labs version does not appear to have been set up for localization yet, but all of the necessary elements are there to host that versions PO files within the Sugar Labs / OLPC Pootle server. As you are looking to take on the maintenance of localization for the original Tux Paint package, you would be in a unique position to work with alsroot to leverage the localization effort across both the original and the Sugar versions of Tux Paint.<br>
<br>I am not sure how much the two versions differ. I know for instance that the Word Activity is Sugar is essentially a cut-down version of AbiWord. It is likely that there has been a reasonable level of string conservation, creating the opportunity to host the primary PO file in one location and synchronize the subset of common strings through pomerge or other Translate Toolkit methods.<br>
