[Sugar-devel] [olpc-nz] Hints for a Sugar dev intro?

[Brenda Wallace]

I've got a book on python for sugar somewhere. My memory of attempts  
was lotsa watching git darcs and svk pulls followed by days of  
watching builds and then a error. Then trying again the next day  
hoping it was fixed in trunk/head
