I would think that you could look at breaking that number down into major constellations taken from a basic sky map and the rest could be placed in a minor constellation sub category.

Another suggestion would be to have them in alphabetical tabs. Like shown here with countries of the world.

Consider organizing the app into the most popular constellations.

For example:

And then the major stars/objects within them by season and location:

Thanks, Greg and Becky.  Those are all good suggestions.  I like the one about organizing by season -- in technical terms, by Right Ascension (maybe three or four hours of RA at a time).  That would divide the sky up into six or eight strips and limit the selectors to proportionately smaller lists.  I could split the sky again into northern (Declination > 0) and southern (Declination < 0), doubling the number of first-level selections but halving the number of second-level ones.

For now, though, I'm going with the whole 88 constellations at once and with "Stars by Constellation" and "Brightest Stars"  (with brightest being defined as brighter than magnitude 1.50).  "By Constellation" will usually result in 20 to 30 stars being offered for any given constellation selection; "Brightest" yeilds just 21 stars.

Hey Guys,

for my BachelorThesis i need so programm a short demo in python, to show the main functionality of the application i worked out. For this functionality i need to setup up a local network to get informations from one XO to all other. And this is where fail. I don't get it, how to do this. Does someone knows a good tutorial or some code snippets where this is described?

Thanks for helping!

Your best bet would be to ask in the Sugar-devel or the olpc-devel mailing lists (and be a bit more specific if you want an answer...)

ok, thanks for this fast help. i will ask in the mailing lists and will try to described the problem more specific.
