  Of course, I'm aa or andresambrois on IRC, I'm usually on #sugar and #olpc 
on freenode.

  Of course! I'm more than happy to receive patches from you, feel free to 
send them. Check my next comment for some info on my ongoing work that could 
affect this.

  Yes! A buddy panel is exactly what we need, and I haven't started working on 
it yet. Your help with user-management in general would be very welcome. 
Support for spectators would be the first step here. 
  I was going to hold off showing it until I had it completely finished, but 
I've been hacking sugar to add an easily embeddable chat for activities, check 
the attached screenshot with the necessary code (that's _all_ the code you 
need to add a chat). If we are going to add both, we need to worry about not 
cluttering the screen.

  This is fixed in my local repo. I'm going to do some more testing before I 
push it.

  This code fixes both these bugs.

  I never got to see the original PlayGo, but screen space usage is an 
important matter on the XO.

  Not really. It's a matter of CPU usage that makes it look like that.

  Sweet!

  Again, thanks for your work an interest! I'm looking forward to meet you on
