Good point. As mention, there are a lot of things to keep track of. At the moment, that is the nature of the beast - the platform has a high rate of change. Once the rate of change slows down, it will be easier for activity authors.

If you are a lead or core dev of a small project, your project's list is probably 100% for you, but in *every* other case, you read <10% of the emails. I read 100% of server [EMAIL PROTECTED], 20% of [EMAIL PROTECTED], 5% of [EMAIL PROTECTED], 5% of moodle.org list traffic, 2% of fedora-devel-list, etc. It would be wholly inappropriate for me to complain on those lists about irrelevant traffic -- every reader slices and dices them in their own way. Some activity authors need to keep track of camera bugs. Others are sensitive to timing issues (realtime-ish needs?) or storage (large media?) or touchpad bugs, or multi-touch plans. Or specific library changes. cheers, martin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
