 Hi Caroline,
 
 thanks for giving this a try! I added some comments below...
 
 By the way, would it be okay for you to get a final image by April
 7th or do you need one earlier?
 
 
 The ability to burn more then one USB at a time is still not working. If 
 it works April 7th is fine.  If it doesn't life is not going to be fun 
 for me.

Heh. Okay, I guess we'll see this tomorrow... ;)

 What of my wish list do you think I will get?
 
 Thanks,
 Caroline
 
 *Here is my wish list.*
 
 Add to favorites Ring:
 Slider Puzzle, Jigsaw Puzzle, Story Builder, Typing Turtle,
 Cartoon Builder,

I hope that everything works well, as I tried to add them manually. That 
will turn out in the next snapshot, which should be ready tomorrow.

 Take out of the favorites Ring
 Log, Terminal. Read
 
 Add a book or two for Read then add Read back to the favorites ring

Hm, we'd need some books to grab (preferable from a.sl.o)...

 Add Scratch and let me test it. It doesn't seem to be on the
 Activities Portal yet.

Well, this is kind of strange. I can see it's wiki page on laptop.org 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Scratch), but it seems like if it 
doesn't even have a GIT repo anymore (!) - that seems to be unavailable.

As far as I know, it has also not been migrated to SugarLabs, either, so 
I'm a bit lost. Is there still any development on this?

 Fix:
 Colors, Flipsticks and IRC and add the to the favorites Ring

IRC is working here.

Colors is reporting that it cannot find 'proper binary blobs' (fails 
with 'from colorsc import *'), and so is Bounce (fails with 'from pongc 
import *'). Maybe we're still missing some dependencies, I'm not yet 
sure... probably the activity maintainers know.

 I'm open to dissenting opinions here, this is just my current
 impressions of what would make a good demo stick.

One choice -- Newberry medal winning children's books by women authors:

http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/_collections/newbery/newbery.html

I have converted these to epub format including the illustrations found at
the website, very compact and accessible via fbreader.  How should they be
packaged to make them available?
