For the reference of any who dare to take on the task (The button being clicked is a "Highlight text by author" button): http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:Activity_write_view.jpg Thanks Tomeu and Eben. Yes, we'll need to expand the abiwidget api. I'll look to do this if I can can get sugar-jhbuild to work again. BTW for those who recommend we abandon sugar-jhbuild, I definitely disagree. You definitely always want the fastest machine you can get for development work and for all it's problems, sugar-jhbuild gives the best way to get an up to the second snapshot of the development trees everywhere. Of course activities require regular testing on the xo hardware, which is now much more available. After I tried out Write on a B2 back in 2007 I realised that many speedups and optimizations were needed to get decent performance.
