[Sugar-devel] My project LearningWriting : some guideleness advises ?

[laurent bernabe]

For the toolbar entry : i will do the effort to implement it :)

Thank you for the JSON advice. I also think that was because i did not
install my activity that the mime type was not recognized.

So, I'll keep on using cairo for drawings.


Thank you very much ^^
