Well, some of our principles for keyboard shortcuts have been 1)
treating CTRL-K as a primary shortcut for action A and ALT-K as a

SJ, I think that the "Meshboard" of which you speak embodies most of
our goals for bulletin boards as designed early on. We may need to
think through some more details, but this is certainly the goal if we
can manage it. Things would probably time out, and they might time
out based on popularity

A new version is available on the wiki. Here is a summary of changes:
- Changed -o overwrite to -c clean, having the same behavior
- Replaced -v verbose with -q quiet, so progress output is on by default
- Implemented progress updates for downloads
I also reorganized some of the code, so please
You may wish to try the python script that I recently added to the
autoreinstallation page. It's been working consistently for me here.
The following should give you a completely clean auto-installation
image of the latest development build:
python sugar-update.py -vo /path/to/usbdrive

Good idea. I've flipped the meaning of the flag in the script at my
end, and changed the documentation in the wiki to match.

Indeed, I just looked up the module for managing zip files a few hours
ago. I've also since updated the script to have a -f flag for
updating to the latest firmware, but it's not available yet. The
latest version will be on the wiki soon (I'm having upload troubles);
a section of the autoreinstal
it
is soon outdated by some fancy built-in auto-update jazz.
