Thanks ! I'll always remember that while estimating my time. But I will definitely try to complete my 2 activities before the GSoC period ends and if I will start 3rd one in the GSoC period then I think I'll be completing that after the GSoC period. Thank you. -- Rushabh On Mon 8 Apr, 2019,

The idea that a competent programmer will spend the summer working on Sugar activities is exciting. However, the activities selected are the best maintained in our repertoire. The following is a list of 25 activities that don't work (fail to start). These are activities from the ASLO archive.

Walter, The XO version (OLPC OS) is apparently capped at F18. There is also an apparent cap on the version of WebKit. I wish I had time to try this but I doubt I will be able to try it in the near term.  This is something that could be done by a GSOC candidate as part of getting on-board.
