Yes, but I think that our decisions should be public. So, I will start
writing here my thoughts.

First of all, olpcgames gives us a lot of functionality that sugargame
doesn't provide. The easy and big example is MESH. I like the way that
mesh is implemented in olpcgames, it has a really easy to use API and
allows us to make a collaborative activity in some minutes.

sugargame, on the other hand, just allows us to put pygame inside a
GTK application and I think that is all we need. Let me explain why. I
think we should improve the way that GTK activities are communicating
between them using telepathy. I mean, make telepathy more like
olpcgames.mesh so it will be easier to use (improve the API, I mean).

So, I'd like to:
 * migrate olpcgames to sugargame
 * discard the use of olpcgames
 * improve the telepathy api

Let discuss this at Montevideo and in this list.
