Dear community members,

Hi Bert,
I actually don't have any intention on how I want to implement it. I only
have my problem and try to figure out how something like this can be done.
I will have a look at your link and come back later when I can ask more
specific questions.

Wow, with a little organization this could be an excellent "test lab"
for SoaS classroom scenarios over the summer!
And perhaps an outstanding opportunity for work on orphaned Activities?

Hi all,
This is in initial release of Library activity. I decided to release it
before implementing collab features to get some feedback about UI and basic
ideas of activity. So, it can browse only local objects.

I see a few issues that pretty much need to be solved in order.

Hi,
We are working on making software update (both activities and underlying OS)
work for Sugar on a Stick and we aren't that clear on what the vision, spec
and state of code is for software update on the XO.
Does it require Root to update the software?
Do students do it themselves somehow?

Tomeu,
I got Read Etexts 12 to be good enough to criticize over the weekend,
and it demonstrates this bug. It's on ASLO. Also, I've noticed that
the Develop Activity has a very small font when I run it in
sugar-emulator. I never tried it on an XO, but I'm wondering if it's
the same problem
I can't answer all or even most of your questions, but they are the right
ones to be asking. Your order of solving the issues makes sense for a plan
to go into place, but I think they are orthogonal issues, and will be solved
by completely different groups.

I believe the U3 crudware gets around the Windows limitation by

I'd guess it offers to format them for you. (I want to say I have seen
