I know I'm really late in this discussion, I'm sorry.
I just wanted to say I've been thinking in the same direction as Jameson.
I was playing with the code of Status.Net Desktop application a couple
of weeks ago:
http://status.net/desktop - its coded using the Appcelerator Titanium
API, which
provides a single API for coding in Python, PHP, Ruby and Javascript for
working with
Desktop items like Tray Icons, Notifications, etc.
I think the ability to program GUI items in html+css and code the
callbacks in Python
would be pretty cool and would make life easier for activity developers
(or easier for users, if we succeed in improving activities's user's
experiences).
I'll study Pyjamas.
Thanks for the pointer.

What does Sugar have? A vision, a community, and a codebase.
I should have said: a vision, a user community, a developer community,
and a codebase. We want to move forward; that means piggy-backing on
the progress of others as much as possible, without losing our
important assets. Don't churn the UI, so as not to lose our users;
don't churn the programming language without good reason, to keep
developers and code; but do try to hill-climb towards the largest
crowd making fastest progress. And that, in turn, means trying to find
the shortest path between us and stuff like Android, HTML5, etc.,
which have large communities actively progressing on the cutting edge.
That's the justification behind my pyjamas proposal.
Jameson
PS. while it's not really relevant, yes, I do have experience in the
field; I founded and taught for two years in a rural Guatemalan public
school.
