Speaking of "activities" in the Sugar sense, I was wondering how many<br>
of the HTML5 apps from FirefoxOS would slide over to our platform with<br>
little change. I just got my hands on a Geeksphone Peak<br>
(<a href="http://www.geeksphone.com/" target="_blank">http://www.geeksphone.com/</a>) and have been following up on how Mozilla<br>
does FirefoxOS apps. (As an aside, their apps live on Github, both as<br>
code and as zip files, and hosted through<br>
<a href="https://marketplace.firefox.com/" target="_blank">https://marketplace.firefox.com/</a> which looks similar on the phone as<br>
it does on a laptop). If some of the FirefoxOS apps can become Sugar<br>
HTML5 activities, we may be able to ramp up on the number of<br>
activities relatively soon. Wishful thinking, and all that...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, they won't work out of the box but it might be possible to port some of them if the source code is available. Difficulty depends on how Firefox specific their code is, aside from the usual rendering engine incompatibilities Firefox OS provides system APIs which are not available in Webkit.<br>
