Day 20: Status Report

Now that we have completed week 3 in our timeline, we are prepared to apply a checklist against a set of possible problems that we may run into in using the Activity.  This sort of testing should be relatively easy as the only user input is the number of Fists of the food group that he or she has eaten.  Also, user input is limited to the choice of number provided by PyGTK's combo box object in the form of a drop down list.  I will have to meet with the rest of the team to talk about any additional testing. 

I am also getting ready for week 5 trying to find out how to get a wiki page published and placed on the site with the other Activities.  We also need to know how to bundle our Activity in order to transfer it to the Sugar platform.  The Sugar Labs wiki describes "packaging activities in self-contained bundles [to allow] easy sharing, installation, removal, and backup."  So, we need to make sure we meet all these requirements in order for proper use of the Activity and the ability to send it to other Sugar platforms that do not already have the activity.  This is a process of interaction amongst the XO laptops, where the child without the Activity will receive it upon using something similar to a shared environment (an example that comes to my mind is the use of Windows' Sharepoint).
