Actually I should mention that Colors! has a bug list going on its
Development page:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Colors%21/Development
Some of those may have regressed since they were marked fixed, I feel like I
have seen the blank toolbar happen recently.

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
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.
I personally can't imagin

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
environment which runs within Sugar as a Activity?
You would download and launch this Activity, and its interface would
be a regular Linux desktop. It would sup

Agreed, I was right there with it until the stages of water metaphor. :)

I made a proposal on the Activities talk page the other day, which suggests
organizing activities into Featured and Extra, with some Featured activities
also being Supported by the OLPC team.
This would allow activities which are feature complete and relatively bug

This made me smile at the thought of the "OLPC Project grinds to a sudden

If the child is ready to recompile the kernel, they can probably score a

Yeah exactly - "yum install gcc" will get you a GCC installation (not sure
exactly which one).
It's best to compile on an emulator or a sugar-jhbuild though for speed, and
then scp over to the real XO to profile.
Using oprofile will give you a good idea of where system-wide performance

I wrote one today as well, after porting 3D Pong from OLPCGames to pure

their text drawing needs serious optimization). I had to spend a bunch of
time researching how to get smooth animation out of PyGTK, so here are my

Hi Ken, PyGame provides a font module which can render text onto a surface.
from gettext import gettext as _
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
surf = font.render(_("Hello, world!"), 1, (255,255,255))
pos = surf.get_rect(centerx=Pos[0], centery=Pos[1])
screen.blit(surf, pos)

Hi Victor, many activities would use a gtk.DrawingArea which can be drawn on
using Cairo. Or else a container widget like gtk.VBox or gtk.HBox to which
other widgets will be added.
You can find a complete PyGTK reference here:

You can watch the output of the PT by downloading and compiling evtest:
wget http://david.woodhou.se/evtest.c
gcc -o evtest evtest.c

It's event5 on my XO, you might have to use a different number.
Anyway, then drag something around on the PT and watch the output. Th

My mother-in-law is an 8th grade teacher in Nobleboro, ME. Maine has had an
Apple laptop program for the past few years in which all 8th graders receive
personal iBooks that they can take home with them.
She has a feature where she can silently watch a single student's screen at
a time via a VNC
I'm thinking of the case where there are 5 people connected to a

play the winner. Some overall score needs to be maintained, saved to

Someone has to maintain the list, and if they leave then someone else
