I have found what I think is a likely email address for the original uploader, and have attempted to contact him.<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>

It would be great to get the original author to fix it and finish it up.<br>
<br>
Right now it's probably not worth the effort to fork it to gitorious,<br>
fix it, and post a new bundle.<br>
<br>
BTW, if you're interested in helping make Sugar, we have plenty of<br>
coders who would be happy to help you get started!<br>

Thanks, Wade. Though I am a programmer by trade, my familiarity with Sugar ends at the UI. Is this something you are capable of fixing, or should I attempt to inform the original uploader, Sulmanminhas?<br>

Quick update, it turns out the activity just has the old problem where it<br>
tries to load files without prepending the bundle path.<br>
It might be nice if Sugar would start activities in their bundle<br>
directories, I think it used to.<br>

Hi Tom,<br>
There are a ton of activities out there like this one that were started at<br>
some point and not finished, or else were finished but not kept up to date<br>
as Sugar evolved.<br>
<br>
I downloaded this one and tried it out. Assuming that it wouldn't work, I<br>
downloaded the .xo file using wget, unzipped it using unzip, and then ran<br>
'python setup.py dev' in the BasicMaths.activity directory. After<br>
restarting Sugar I launched the activity and it came up just fine, but I<br>
noticed the following problems:<br>
<br>
- MANIFEST file is totally wrong, contains an extra path.<br>
- Icon doesn't follow Sugar icon conventions.<br>
- The activity itself is extremely basic. It consists of an equation<br>
missing an operator, with some operator buttons to click on, and text<br>
telling you whether you were correct or not.<br>
<br>
That said, it did work for me. It would be interesting to know what the Log<br>
activity shows for it on your XO. It would also be great to contact the<br>
author and try to convince them to complete it.<br>
<br>
We recently started a SugarLabs ActivityTeam to try and catalog and<br>
(eventually) fix these kinds of activities, and it would help us a lot if<br>
you could document this and any other finds at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/ActivityTeam/ActivityStatus" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org/go/ActivityTeam/ActivityStatus</a><br>
<br>
Also, there are a couple of Math-related Sugar activities in development<br>
right now. If you're interested in helping out with one, let me know and I<br>
can point you in the right direction.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Wade<br>

There is a Basic Math Game activity listed on the Math portal page<br>
(<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Math" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Math</a>), but when I download it to my XO, and<br>
attempt to Start it from the Journal, nothing appears to happen.<br>
<br>
Have others tried this activity? Should I expect it to work? If so,<br>
what can I do to troubleshoot?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
