You forgot to explain why you think answering that question using such a "support staff" is usefully done using for or so messages of ~60 or fewer English characters[1] and while not telling them about the Log Activity. tch's proposal is more than the point you've responded to, and looks[1] promising (IMO, as long as it doesn't interrupt / hassle the user more than we already do), but I don't understand why you think the notifications will make a big difference for you in the field. I agree it doesn't have a place in Sugar. I guess you'll discuss the Dextrose-specific bits on the desxtrose mailing list. I'm interested to hear what you find out. > david Martin 1. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Corner_notification_message_only_history.png
