I'm not seeing any of those, if not in a few individuals, and that worries
me. Maybe people don't care or maybe there is a lack of leadership... I

Hi, I'm Anuj. I'm a 2nd year Computer Science undergrad student and I'm

interested in working with Sugar Labs for the Music Keyboard activities

on this?
Hello,
I would like to participate in GSoc 2013 and I'm particulary interested in two
of your projects : Display notes in a score in Music Keyboard activity and

I have knowledges in Python.
Would it be possible to have some more details about them in order to choose
would be good:
-create a GIT repo in git.sugarlabs.. to put the versions of the activity
and improve
the patch/fixes..
-update the style of bars in the activity launcher (at the begin)
-upload a new version to aslo with this fixes and others fixes
Hmmm, yes its what we should
Hi Daniel,
Impressive idea with a cool architecture. BTW, to be honest I think its
too complex.
Why not just create a standard Python activity template that call the WebKit
WebView? Like we do today.
But maybe I miss something or maybe we dont speak of the same thing?

I'm pretty new to the
mailing list and the project, but I'm pretty sure that starting a new
Chrome instance for every launched activity is far too taxing for the
XOs.
I think that Lionel's idea of using a Python activity that uses the
WebKit WebView is a much, much better solution.
