The mythical alsroot fixed this it a few hours ago!

Sorry, I think there's not much we can do to improve collaboration on
Sugar 0.82-0.88. By Collabora's own admission, the original design had
to be heavily changed. Tomeu landed on Sugar 0.90 a near complete
rewrite of the collaboration code, which unfortunately suffers from
several new bugs.

At this point, it makes more sense for us and OLPC to work jointly on
fixing the new code and hopefully get a reliable collaboration stack by
the time Sugar 0.92 comes out.


> No wikipedia activity - Can this be added again please?

Not on the XO-1 + Gnome image. I'm afraid it takes up too much room and
not leave enough space for journal entries.

The International build should have the Wikipedia-EN activity, while the
Paraguayan build needs the Spanish version. A recent article on OLPCnews
also says that teachers in Peru asked for a refresh of the Wikipedia-ES
activity.

Who could work on it? AFAIk, the activity is unmaintained, but there's a
page in OLPC's wiki describing how to recreate the bundle from scratch.

We discussed it today during the dextrose meeting. m_anish is looking
into it.

I have no comments for the other bugs (yet), but thanks to the OLPC-NZ
team for their quality work.
