[GCompris-devel] Division - new activity

[B.J.]

That¹s a good point.  Are we trying to keep everything in the single app
then?  I see the advantages to this, as well as de-cluttering by keeping
admin/config items in a separate app.  I¹m sure I¹d be the wrong person to
ask too; I¹m always good either way, as long as students¹ access to that
part of the config is limited.  Any other teachers w/input on this?

Also‹would it translate across platforms easily?  I imagine iOS/Android
users would just d/l a separate (optional) app probably?  Just thinking out
loud hereŠ

 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).
 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).
 
 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.
 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?
