</div></div>Eduardo, do you think the Caixa Magica guys would be interested in<br>
packaging Sugar for CM and/or Mandriva?<br>

David, have you already approached the Mandriva community about this<br>
as part of your outreach efforts? Do you know of any effort on which<br>
CM could build their own packaging work?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I will follow up with Caixa Magica. The google translate tools have become my friends.<br><br>thanks<br>david<br><br><br></div></div></div>
