First of all, I may have missed a discussion on the same topic. If that 
is the case then just point me to the mailing list archive.

Anyway, I was thinking about collaboration. I understand that at least 
Abiword and TamTam have plans and maybe implementations for activity 
specific collaboration. That's great. What I am worried about is apps 
which are not tailored for Sugar. Is Sugar going to provide some sort of 
fallback generic collaboration facilities?

For example, suppose we make an activity out of today's GCompris by 
merely wrapping it in a python script which does fork & exec. Can kids 
still collaborate in a rudimentary way?

One idea is fallback to VNC. I know VNC isn't optimal from a CPU or 
bandwidth standpoint, but it's better than nothing.
