[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] 13.1 ? and 12 ? Re: Sugar Digest 2012-11-30

[Yama Ploskonka]

sorry, certified ignoramus here, I got it (I hope...). The "spins" are 
the updated build, as developers upload their bestest and latest.
So, if I test, I should test spin os15 (or later, as things move along)

AND those numbers have nothing to do with OLPC OS releases.

Thanks!
