Hi, > I've seen the FoodForce2 posts some time ago... great work! :) Well, I can't speak for the Sugar process (to get it included in Honey), but for SoaS: We can include whatever is reasonably requested - though being on <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">activities.sugarlabs.org</a> is a requirement. I think it would be awesome to have FoodForce2 on it... Thanks Sebastian. > First try was a noisy beeping sound when starting up, and had to kill it to keep from making noise at the ClassActs book sprint, iirc. Can you repro the error and send me some logs/screenshot. > Downloading has not been consistently working since, for me (hangs during downloading), so maybe some more testing, and tracking of bugs, to release it further on the world? We are constantly working on bug fixes and issues for the new release. We have had over 70 issues filed for the beta release of which 33 are still being fixed. The newer release will be good in terms of code quality and should have lesser bugs.

First try was a noisy beeping sound when starting up, and had to kill it to keep from making noise at the ClassActs book sprint, iirc. Downloading has not been consistently working since, for me (hangs during downloading), so maybe some more testing, and tracking of bugs, to release it further on the world? I'm liking what I've seen of it, but it doesn't always work for me, though I've not spent a lot of time figuring out why not. Nor do I know the history, nor politics, nor process of getting something into Sugar/ SOAS/ Xoos/ name du jour... FoodForce is similar to something we had on Apple II computers back in 1981-1982 time frame, though I've never found the reference/ proper name of it. Also, my SpeakSign is not deliverable/ running yet, so I can't throw too many stones, as I live in a glass house (figuratively), as well. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Sebastian Dziallas <<a href="mailto:sebastian@when.com">sebastian@when.com</a>> wrote: > Hi Deepank, > > Deepank Gupta wrote: >> Hi, >> >> The foodforce team has been working on the Foodforce2 >> activity(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/foodforce" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/foodforce</a>) for over an year now.
