<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I received my G1G1 unit about a month ago and have had
tremendous fun fiddling around with it. My 3 year old daughter loves playing
with the paint application (it’s easier than cleaning up the washable
marker all over the floor/table/wall/etc…. <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I spent a considerable amount of time getting Xephyr to work
as an activity and have written a small activity that gets a window manager
working within an activity window (and yes, the arrow keys work on this one!).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d like to know where I go about contributing this
code? I’ve read around on the wiki but all the instructions seem
piecemeal. I’ve created a wiki username and was about to add a project
page at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/classic_mode but I was wondering if there’s
an established standard to submitting the code to a versioning system (SVN?
CVS?) and creating a project page.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve also recently come across some other attempts to
make a similar application but they all had glitches. I wasn’t able to
get back to the authors to tell them what went wrong and was somewhat
disappointed that there was no other similar projects easily referenced on the
wiki.laptop.org page.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m referencing specifically work done by Dan Williams
from Redhat and another person named Owen who made an activity called “Classic
Mode” available at <a href="http://ywwg.com/wiki/index.php/OLPC_Work">http://ywwg.com/wiki/index.php/OLPC_Work</a>.
I was hoping to name the project page on the laptop.org wiki in order to give
proper credit to these guys. My application is very similar except that it uses
the activity toolbar, embeds Xephyr inside the viewable application canvas and
the function keys work. It really does look like it’s a Sugar application
at this point.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d like to get a page where we can “officialize”
the sugar/Xephyr application and start gathering community feedback.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m looking at going beyond the “embed a window
manager” into the Sugar interface to getting an activity framework that
will let traditional X11 apps work inside an activity window without calling a
window manager(sort of like creating a launcher item inside of the Gnome
desktop).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyhow, any guidance/suggestions are welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Pat<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
