Speaking as the Sugar maintainer, thanks for your work on these activities. Let's get them fixed and then released.
I'm also looking forward to seeing your work on the other items in the project task checklist. You're working on the last item first, and that's a great way to find problems with Sugar, the Toolkit, and the Datastore. The other items are also a concern. I'm confident you will get to look at them eventually. https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/Ideas-2020.md#port-sugar-and-core-activities-to-python-3 On Mon, May 18, 2020 at 12:39:45AM +0530, Saumya Mishra wrote: > Hello, > > I worked on Port of Frotz , VncLauncher , solar-system , showntell-activity > and > infoslicer.
