Hi Mikus, John, Michael et al,
Thanks for testing some activities and noting that many are broken.
This will certainly be a user problem! There was a thread on it two
weeks ago: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-July/016501.html
We didn't close it well. I can't speak effectively for
Hi John and Michael,
Thanks to John for raising these concerns and sticking with us after a
frustrating first two experiences. SimCity has good traction in the user
base and its a very high priority activity for us.

Hi Edward,
Given the essential need to charge in regions totally devoid of mains
power (in our case inland New Guinea),the solar quest is naturally
pretty crucial to the whole rollout. It's otherwise akin to being
given a 4WD Mercedes, but with no ongoing fuel supply

Are you talking about sugar APIs, or APIs for other library components
present on the system which some activities may use?

You edited the [[Activities/G1G1]] page to change Chat from 35 to 42

However the version of Chat in the G1G1 Activity Pack linked from that

Hi Greg, thanks for sending this one. Would be a good step forward if
we found the way to connect field feedback to the testing team, so
they can enter proper tickets that can track real improvements.
I really hope that 9.1.0 will bring serious improvements regarding
robustness of the datastore.
Sound like quite good points to me, can you make sure we have proper
tickets for those?
Thanks a lot,
