Agreed that navigation is currently hard.  I would love to see a new
Gitorious splash page that just lists *all* the projects like GitWeb does,
but I know that could be hard to do and we have more pressing infrastructure
needs.

The best way to do this is:

git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/browse/maineline.git browse

The second argument controls the name of the directory it's synced to.

Actually, cd to the activity directory and run

python setup.py dev

This will create the aforementioned symlink.  Then restart X
(Ctrl-Alt-Erase).
