Hi all!


Following the plan for Harmonic Distribution v0.2 (which will be a basis
for Sugar Distribution to use in peruvian pilot), in Sugar Shell code
were made fixes that are intended to make Telepathy (everything related to
Neighbourhood view and Sugar Activities sharing/joining) more stable
(that was broken since global redesign started after 0.88 release).

Fixes are accessible from SweetsDistribution:Factory repository. Follow
regular Sweets Distribution installation instructions[1] to install
fixed Sugar Shell on all supported platforms[2].

Some visible changes in F1 view:

* the number of buddies should be increased from ~20 to 70-90
 some Sugar versions (maybe 0.90-0.92) don't publish information about
 nickname/colors on regular basis; this information are being stored on
 disk for now

* for some buddies, server still don't have information about colors
 (replaced by gray) and nick names (jabber ids)

If you have a time and want to help Puno deployment pilot, please,
consider possibility to install sweets-desktop from Factory repository
and do some testing of collaboration functionality.

Some tips:

* while interacting with another buddies, make sure that all
 participants use Sweets Distribution (some F1 buddies might misbehave)

* the good criteria of stability level of new Sugar is comparing with
 how collaboration happen in 0.88 Sugar.

Source code, for interested in people, can be found in top commits from:

W/o testing these changes I think we need to port them to dextrose.

Agree ?.


Cheers.
