Sugar on Android via HTML5

2013-09-05 Thread Sameer Verma
So, I've been mulling this for some time now. At work we are looking into using FireFoxOS as a platform for HTML5 apps in some of our courses. It's exciting that there is some momentum on the HTML5 activities in Sugar. What I'm unsure about is the implementation. Outside of the classic Sugar shell
