[17:26] <kandarpk> alsroot: around ?
[17:26] <alsroot> kandarpk: yup
[17:27] <kandarpk> alsroot: what is python-hippocanvas used for ?
[17:27] <kandarpk> setting canvas
[17:27] <kandarpk> ?
[17:27] <alsroot> kandarpk: it is a pthon wrapper around UI lib http://live.gnome.org/HippoCanvas
[17:28] <kandarpk> alsroot: do all activities make use of it ?
[17:28] <alsroot> kandarpk: afaik, there were plans to not use it, at least in Vala rewriting of sugar-toolkit I didn't use hippocanvas
[17:28] <alsroot> ..and use pure gtk
[17:29] <kandarpk> alsroot: ok, thanks.
[17:29] <kandarpk> lfaraone: do we need to python-hippocanvas in CDBS_DEPENDS if the source doesn't import hippocanvas ?
[17:30] <alsroot> kandarpk: sugar still uses it, so we need it as dependency
[17:30] <alsroot> *sugar core
[17:30] <alsroot> ..and some activities as well
[17:30] <kandarpk> alsroot: ok.
[17:30] <kandarpk> alsroot: the source didn't import it, so was a bit confused
[17:31] <alsroot> kandarpk: it could be imported from sugar-toolkit modules
[17:31] <kandarpk> alsroot: ok, got it.
[17:31] <kandarpk> thanks.
[17:32] <kandarpk> alsroot: what is cjson used for ?
[17:34] <alsroot> kandarpk: it is python lib to support http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Json
[17:34] <alsroot> i.e. data format for IPC/RPC
[17:54] <manusheel> kandarpk: Hi Kandarp.
[17:54] <manusheel> Around?
[17:54] <kandarpk> manusheel sir: hello sir.
[18:05] <manusheel> kandarpk: How is the presentation on collaboration and activity coming along?
[18:05] <manusheel> kandarpk: Kindly send me your presentation on Tuesday. We have a presentation on Wednesday on activity dev and collaboration in Sugar.
[18:06] <kandarpk> manusheel sir: trying to add collaboration to the activity.
[18:06] <kandarpk> manusheel sir: OK.
[18:06] <manusheel> kandarpk: Great. Thanks Kandarp.
[18:13] <kandarpk> alsroot: can HBox be used in place of hippo.CanvasBox ?
[18:15] <alsroot> kandarpk: well, hippo.CanvasBox has much more features then just HBox, see hippo.CanvasBox docs
[18:15] <alsroot> kandarpk: nut if you need just to place widgets, use HBox/VBox
[18:16] <alsroot> *but
[18:16] <kandarpk> alsroot: I want to add a widget which can be used for sharing messages
[18:17] <kandarpk> alsroot: as hippo.CanvasBox is used in hello mesh
[18:17] <alsroot> kandarpk: use Box derivates then, for my own, I'm trying to not use hippo
[18:19] <kandarpk> alsroot: ok.
[18:20] <kandarpk> alsroot: what can to used to share messages ?
[18:20] <kandarpk> I want a textbox kind of widget
[18:20] <alsroot> kandarpk: you mean something like shared textbox?
[18:21] <kandarpk> alsroot: a simple textbox will do, like the one in chat activity
[18:22] <alsroot> kandarpk: well, one in chat is not simple text box :)
[18:22] <kandarpk> alsroot: :)
[18:22] <alsroot> kandarpk: if you need just to place widgets, use VBox/HBox
[18:23] <alsroot> ..and other basic containers
[18:24] <kandarpk> alsroot: I'll browse through the chat activity and see if I can get any clue from there
[18:27] <kandarpk> ishan_: hi
[18:27] <alsroot> kandarpk: btw there is also http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2009/Groupthink, you can ask bemasc(author) and m_anish who uses it in Pippy
[18:27] <ishan_> kandarpk, hi
[18:28] <kandarpk> ishan_: have you installed hello mesh ?
[18:28] <ishan_> kandarpk, yes sir
[18:28] <kandarpk> ishan_: please share it, I wanted to see how it works.
[18:29] <ishan_> kandarpk, okay
[18:29] <ishan_> you mean to check collaboration on sugar
[18:30] <kandarpk> ishan_: yes, but the activity to be more specific
[18:30] <ishan_> kandarpk, okay sir
[18:31] <ishan_> still trying to find you on neighbour hood view
[18:31] <kandarpk> ishan_: I'll join in a minute
[18:33] <kandarpk> alsroot: thanks.
[18:34] <kandarpk> alsroot: GroupThink looks a bit complex/feature rich.
[18:34] <ishan_> kandarpk, ping me sir when you join
[18:35] <kandarpk> alsroot: I wanted to integrate somethink like chat so that users can communicate/pass messages
[18:35] <kandarpk> ishan_: in 2 min. need to log into ubuntu for that.
[18:36] <ishan_> kandarpk, okay sir
[18:36] <kandarpk> it isn't working in debian.
[18:36] <alsroot> kandarpk: I extracted Chat's major widget to Speak, see chatbox.py and how it is used
[18:39] <manusheel> alsroot: Thank you. I'll communicate this to Kandarp.
[18:40] <alsroot> kandarpk: I extracted Chat's major widget to Speak, see chatbox.py and how it is used
[18:40] <kandarpk> alsroot: great idea. :)
[18:40] <alsroot> kandarpk: also, would be useful to have this widget in separate library (some time we can integrate it to the shell)
[18:41] <alsroot> ..and to other activities
[18:41] <ishan_> kandarpk, i have invited you
[18:41]  * alsroot thought about it but didn't have enough time
