</div>We do work alongside each other, it is the place both Holger an I are<br>
talking about: The OLPC team hosted at the Debian service Alioth.<br>

At the moment the Ubuntu developers has decided to not make use of the<br>
shared Git repositories that I am maintaining. They might never use them<br>
again - time will tell. But it seems to me that we are not very far from<br>
being able to work closer together again. In a way that satisfies both<br>

<br>
</div>This comes as a big surprise to me. Honestly!<br>
<br>
Debian has 18 Sugar-related known bugs currently, most of them exotic.<br>
<br>
As users, first priority is to file bugreports against the party closest<br>
to you: If you have time to kill then coordinating bugreports across<br>
distributions and upstream is appreciated too, but main thing is to make<br>
your own distributor aware of any issues you experience!</blockquote><div><br>A main problem with *most* of the Sugar activities in Debian/Ubuntu: They run but don't scale properly to most screens. This is a bug that is hard to fix downstream, which is why most of them have been fixed or forwarded upstream. <br>
<br>The second of course is that we don't have many activities: to this we have two solutions:<br><br>* Wait for Debian to get 0.84 and get the autoupdater, which will download the activities to ~<br>* Package more activities :)<br>
