Hi all,
here's a preliminary agenda for tomorrow's IRC meeting on #sugar-meeting:

Time permitting OLE Nepal's Roxan (in CC) will also be joining us at some
point so we can discuss his involvement regarding the teacher's note and
lesson plan.

of the difference between education systems, but have you considered a
possibility to generate lesson plans, examples and questions from a wiki?

Before you upgrade an Activity you need to remove the existing one
from the Journal. There is no way to overlay an old Activity with a

I am trying to create a sugar activity that wraps a simple X application.
Specifically, my activity is a standard python activity, inheriting from

FYI, there is a substantial difference in performance with and without
