In my opinion the XO product is notably limited in that its front panel

We are also able to run the binary, but I am unclear about
how we would package this into a .xo activity. Any pointers?
Am attaching an copy of an email I sent earlier to someone with a

Another comment from the unwashed:
Years back, I used only ethernet to connect my XOs. Nowadays, I'm using
both wired and wireless to connect between XOs. [By the way, I normally
run my XOs with suspend disabled - so I have not paid much attention to
problems associated with 'resume'.]
I've been installing (via 'rpm') the midori browser
Do you know where I can get binaries for this that will work on
F14-based XO builds?
On build au200 I do 'yum install midori'. [The package comes in from
the Fedora updates repository.]

I don't use it day-to-day, but for more than two years now I've been
installing (via 'rpm') the midori browser in all the XO-1 builds that
have ever been made available. My intent has been to have at least one
(not counting Surf) webkit-based browser for comparison purposes.

I do not know enough python to figure out for line 23 in __init__.py --
what is being imported, or from where -- but I interpret the cause for

Object Chooser sugar 0.95-2 (on XO-1.5 screen)
Selecting 'OLPC root' icon appears to give the same view as selecting
'Journal' icon.
Also a human factors difficulty - when there are more entries in Object
Chooser than will fit on one screen, the scroll bar at the right edge is
much too
Fedora 16 Sugar (and Soas) no longer have a working Browser:

Except for missing the fix from Ticket #10699, Browse-125 works
adequately on os3 on the XO-1 and on the XO-1.5

Blue sky suggestion:
When hovering over second-from-right icon in top bar of Home View, open
a palette with TWO OR MORE favorites-list icons. Clicking on one of
these favorites-list icons brings up a set of activity-icons (which
have been associated with *that* favorites list). Clicking on

the need to launch activities from the list view)
I personally prefer the list view to remain -- it provides a convenient
place where to erase installed Activities that one no longer wants.

Hmm, it'd be interesting to see how much of a performance improvement
webkit offers.
It's no big deal to run webkit-based browsers on the XO. For instance,
all of my XO-1s have Midori installed.
The question is - what is this performance improvement that you are
looking for? I believe
Is there a way ... to query the version and build information
I myself use the command line a lot. I've written scripts for the XO
which extract (on recent builds) this kind of information :
* If there exists directory /ofw, the XO serial number gets shown
by cat /ofw/serial-number

Haven't sugarized espeak, but can run it from the command line:

That is because it has no file Paint.activity/fill/linux32_27 -- in

that people asking for help do so via the correct channels
I believe that asking for help should not be the only supported
motivation for contacting developers.

We already readjust the network neighborhood layout on the fly when we

Haven't bothered to keep track of the appearance/disappearance of XO and

presence on
invitation icons seem to persist long after all invitors/invitees are gone.
is this as 'simple' as removing the notification when the activity id is no
