</div>Hello James,<br>
I feel identified with what Walter described so I dare to answer. I'm<br>
from Uruguay and I'm thirteen years old. I'm one of the activity<br>
developers in transition to Sugar contributor. I don't know other<br>
young Sugar contributors outside Uruguay, so I'll tell you about the<br>
situation here.<br>
<br>
About one year ago, children made activities often as a hobbie, that<br>
activities had not a reasonable aim and they weren't very well<br>
integrated with Sugar.<br>
<br>
Some examples:<br>
Agubrowser by Agustin Zubiaga:<br>
This activity was based on webkit when Browse used python-hulahop (gecko).<br>
<a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4419" target="_blank">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4419</a><br>
Sugar File Manager by Ignacio Rodríguez and me:<br>
Based on Sugar Commander and JAMexplorer, with some improvements.<br>
<a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4494" target="_blank">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4494</a><br>
<br>
Actually, we make activities thinking in its utility, but our aim is<br>
still learn with what we do.<br>
I leave here some of the activities that make us feel proud:<br>
<br>
TerronesWeeper: A "mines" game for CeibalJAM!, the Uruguayan OLPC<br>
community, which is represented with a Terrón[1].<br>

JAMath: Other game for CeibalJAM. I'm not sure, but I think this<br>
activity is only available in Spanish.<br>
