[Sugar-devel] Como Hacer Una Actividad Sugar is now on the Internet Archive! Kindle and EPUB included!

[James Simmons]

Olga,

Thanks.  It looks like when you first submit a book to the Internet Archive
the description of the book needs to be 7 bit ascii text.  Any accented
characters came up as garbage.  I changed some of the garbage letters to
HTML values like ó and was planning on fixing the rest today.  (I
needed to look up the HTML values for some of the marks I didn't know).

It turns out that when you update the text of the item you can use Latin
characters, so I was able to paste your corrected text in and I think it
looks good now.  Please check it:

Thanks much!
