Some of us know :)

But many others as well. I try to maintain GNOME versions of most of
the activities I write, for example. It is pretty straightforward,
just a little work. And there are many Sugar activities that already
have GNOME equivalents, e.g., Write/Abiword. Since you can easily move
Journal objects back and forth between the Sugar Journal and the Linux
file system, that is no longer a bottleneck. And, at least with Turtle
Art (Etoys too?) the Sugar collaboration model works across desktops.
But all of this should be enabled at a deeper level within the Sugar
toolkit to facilitate activity developers.

As far as Android compatibility, I still have a long learning curve re
Android in order to make an assessment.

I am curious as to the specific features of Android that David finds compelling.
