[Sugar-devel] Sugarbot working on latest Sugar

Is there interest in pushing an updated sugarbot to git.sl.o?

I have spent some time over the last three days getting Sugarbot to run in
sugar-jhbuild. After a few code changes, and lots of reading, I have been
successful.

Some changes that needed to be made from the 0.1 release:
 - a few syntax errors
 - update sugarbot.py to access  jarabe.model.bundleregistry.get_registry,
rather than sugar.shell.registry and update associated methods

Left to do:

Think... Sugarbot's widget identification system worked well when text-based
labels were common place. Recent Sugar versions have moved to a highly
icon-based naming system. Developers will either need to make use
of gtk.Widget.set_name() or another widget identification algorithm will
need to be established.

There are several things under the hood that I think would be useful. I
think some of what I would like to do would be classed as code style
changes, rather than substantive though.

Thoughts & questions welcome.
