[Sugar-devel] Hacking on HTML activities UI (was Re: GSoC 13)

[suraj ks]

Still showing the same error.
Please bear with me. This is the first time I'm working with node and volo.

But the volo create seems to working fine with the omega-examples.
It was created without any hassles.

I'm going through the chrome app page which you suggested.

Do I have to just tweak the "omega-examples" code to make it run on chrome?
Or do i have to start with creating manifest, background script ,etc
as mentioned here
 http://developer.chrome.com/trunk/apps/first_app.html
 ?





P.S : I have an exam day after tomorrow. That's why my progress is slow.
It is my last exam. Once i'm done with it i'll be able to devote all my
attention towards Sugar.
