In the spirit of free software, we share and criticize—that is how we learn and improve and encourage participation by newcomers.  Enjoy and join the conversation.<br><br>-Random edits.  I think everything we write should encourage people to join and contribute. - CM<br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 12:26 PM, Walter Bender <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I think it should mention cookies somewhere.<br> <div class="Ih2E3d"><br> Blurb: Planet Sugar Labs is a collection of personal blogs by Sugar<br> </div>Labs community contributors.
