[Sugar-devel] XO emulator for Linux

[Walther Neuper]

Hi Edward,

thank you for pointing out (and all our interested students listen to 
that), that ideas for "new" activities must be checked for how the idea 
can be realized more efficiently (and more flexibly accessible for the 
learners) by use of existing activities ...
