Am I missing anything?

points of failure. Some of these we can

Hello Titus,
Good to see you at PyCon. Here's a random idea I think would be
worthwhile, if it could work well into the Sugar-gui or even the other

I just glanced at DogTail:

- Most documentation and examples missing
- Test cases appear verbose, but hard to tell with all examples missing.
