[Sugar-devel] addons.mozilla.org - what needs to be done?

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Hi Mel,

I'm very happy to know that you want to put your capable hands on this.

Have started this page here: http://sugarlabs.org/go/ActivityTeam/Remora_port

Please ask Bernie to setup the environment needed to hack on a.s.o and
tell me what else I can help with.

Regards,

Tomeu
