Hi all,
I wrote a simple Sugar installer for Windows:
http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/OLPC-XO-Software-8.2.0-Setup.exe
It installs/uninstalls a working Sugar environment (based on Ton van
Overbeek's QEMU) with just a few clicks.
The installer was built using the open source installer creator NSIS

Rather than keeping track of what
state you are in, it seems more coherent and natural that the developer only
worries about specific calls to write metadata when he wants to write
metadata (like volume and playback settings) and only worries about
Hey James,
It actually sounds a bit like we're talking about the same thing...

Hello,
I agree wholeheartedly that ticket triage and statistical analysis is
a worthwhile effort, so I think I support what Garrett is talking
about.
At my employer we have teams of producers constantly watching
individual and per-component bug counts, transfering bugs from

I think I can see Dennis's confusion about packages moving from F9 to F7,
the initial writeup contains this:
* Stable: Stable builds are specified by their release name (e.g. 8.1.1,
8.2), and the procedure for packages moving from Testing into Stable
releases involves the Unscheduled Release
Would it be worth setting up a BitTorrent tracker for builds?
BitTorrent is very reliable, excellent at resuming, doesn't require command
line use, and can take advantage of local seeds.

Hey Scott, thanks for this. It's nice to see a clear, unbiased
analysis of a complex problem.
It shows that there are some clear technical advantages to the
GNU/Linux stack, while correctly stating that there are options for a
Windows port which would not be impossible.

Hi Carol,
I believe MS LiveMesh is a higher level concept than the OLPC Mesh. I
think it requires a traditional LAN environment first, and adds
functionality on top of that.
Whereas the XO's mesh feature creates a traditional LAN environment
out of thin air.
I could be wrong though, I haven't

I wonder if the differences between Sugar and a regular window manager
aren't so severe that it might be worth offering a simple desktop
