Oh man, I have so many ideas for this framework, but not enough time to code it up :). Maybe one of these days. Thanks for putting this up!

Exercises that still need coding - https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsgWawUKHSJldGlvX3RUX2FyMEpMdzdRRWlOLXg3TVE&hl=en_US&authkey=CJWi-LMM#gid=8 https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsgWawU...

  It would be great to get more community involvement to help with these new exercises, but be aware that over the next week our main focus will be on getting the new framework and old exercises ported to the new framework ready to ship.

Member of the KA team here. We're in the final stages of getting this new exercise framework live. If you're interested in contributing towards the new framework or helping our beta testing efforts, please check out https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises/wiki/Getting-Involved https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises/wiki/Getting-Involved (if you're interested in helping out our beta, look for the hipchat room on the wiki page).

  The new framework looks great! It's amazing to see how much KA has accelerated since the funding and the progress that's being made. I'll take a look to see if I can help out

  So I tried to download the source code for the entire project from https://khanacademy.kilnhg.com/Repo/Website/Group/stable https://khanacademy.kilnhg.com/Repo/Website/Group/stable But every time I did that I got a connection error after downloading about half of the chunks. Is it possible to source this repo in Github, Google code or somewhere else where this disconnect problem is not an issue?
  - writetoalok 15y ago
    Always disconnects after 14542 chunks have been downloaded. Wonder why.
    - writetoalok 15y ago
      Okay, looks like some sort of load limiting configuration on the kiln server. You can however clone and pull in smaller chunks http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/935/connection-ended-unexpectedly-when-cloning-a-large-repository http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/935/connection-ended...

Is this repo used by the website, or you merge things from khanacademy.org back to this? I'm having trouble finding a reference to the Scratchpad text tool in the github scratchpad.js.
- spicyj 15y ago
  This is a near-complete rewrite of all of the exercises live on the site currently. The scratchpad text tool has been removed because it doesn't provide much that isn't easily available via other means. You can see the beta of the new site at: http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com/ http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com/ (Please report issues on GitHub if you find any.)

    Thank you!

so wait this would allow anyone to create tutorials and get them working on khanacademy?
- spicyj 15y ago
  Yep. On the spreadsheet that repos mentions, there is a list of planned exercises. As rubergly mentioned, this week we'll be focusing on fixing all the bugs and getting this deployed to real users but after that we'll definitely be open to new exercises and new contributors.

I tried an exercise on http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com and got a question wrong because I wrote "pi/6" where it wanted "1/6 pi". Any plans to improve the parsing?
- spicyj 15y ago
  I had just filed a bug about that: https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises/issues/377 https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises/issues/377 We'll fix it this week.

As spicyj said, any adventurous soul should feel free to play around with the beta/testing site we have at http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com/exercisedashboard http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com/exercisedashboard -- let us know how it goes.

Wow, this is really something. Now this explains a bit why John Resig moved to Khan Academy, which I couldn't comprehend before http://ejohn.org/blog/next-steps-in-2011/ http://ejohn.org/blog/next-steps-in-2011/
