Speaking of "activities" in the Sugar sense, I was wondering how many
of the HTML5 apps from FirefoxOS would slide over to our platform with
little change. I just got my hands on a Geeksphone Peak
(http://www.geeksphone.com/) and have been following up on how Mozilla
does FirefoxOS apps. (As an aside, their apps live on Github, both as
code and as zip files, and hosted through
https://marketplace.firefox.com/ which looks similar on the phone as
it does on a laptop). If some of the FirefoxOS apps can become Sugar
HTML5 activities, we may be able to ramp up on the number of
activities relatively soon. Wishful thinking, and all that...

cheers,
