[IAEP] Future Direction

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, Gonzalo

Must we rewrite 300 Sugar activities because Python is obsolete? If we 
are committed to Android, have we looked at making Python viable there?
Are we facing lock-down on these machines or can we run Fedora/Sugar on 
a tablet without Android?

If I understand you, then Etoys no longer works on Fedora independent of 
Sugar.

If I understand James Cameron correctly, the benefits of the new web 
activities will not be available on XO-1 and XO-1.5.

This is getting to be a very distressing situation.

Tony
