<div>My vote for “yes”, thinking you’re completely right. Another
option would be to bring back the separate config tool we had
with the GTK version, with which one could easily lock or allow
specific activities—this confines the focal skill set, but also
allows independent practice for menu navigation, which is a
skill that some students don’t have yet. That way a learner
walks through the specific skills the group is currently working
on while still using the icons to navigate. Even better: maybe
an option for activities to “open up” (allow access) after
specific ones are completed? Maybe too many ideas at once for
this stage of development though…</div>

<div>I'm not sure if it is a good idea to let the child
decide by default how many candies/children. Can be
interesting for classrooms, but I'm not sure it's a good
idea for children at home, if they play alone?<br>

We don't have it at the moment but we have to stay open to
these kind of requests. Teachers want to tune each activity
to match the difficulty level they have in the classroom.
This is a valid request and it goes in par with the
administration module.<br>
<br>
The scenario is that the teacher configures all the GCompris
to run an activity at a given level or with a specific
configuration. Going further, we could let a teacher create
a multi activity scenario in which instead of having a menu
the children is proposed a sequence of activities (including
specific level and config) to follow. I created a task to
track this need:<br>

href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T1596">https://phabricator.kde.org/T1596</a><br>
<br>
I am on the early thinking on this and maybe wrong, feel
free to discuss it.<br>

If I understand correctly, there are 2 things: having custom levels
(let's say easily, some .js data files in some directory and a
configuration button like in balancebox to use the default levels or
the customs).<br>
And the possibility to directly input in the activity the
configuration we want (for this activity, let's say two text fields,
to input the number of children and candies).<br>
<br>
I agree that we should have the possibility to read custom datasets.
But for the second point, as you say, it goes more on admin part
than directly on the activity itself.<br>
For the Gtk+ version, if I'm not wrong, the "text" activities had
the possibilities to create datasets. Was there some rule to decide
if it is directly on the activity or in configuration? <br>
