[Sugar-devel] Private vs Public conversations.

[Gonzalo Odiard]

David,
Certainly is good know plans, and started a interesting discussion.
In eduJam and in Montevideo, I was talking with the new AC hackers,
and tried to convince them to work on sugar 0.100 instead of sugar 0.98.
Have a lot of sense try to work in the same code if possible,
and will be good for your plans of work on web activities.
May be we can look at the details, but I agree with you, we should try
avoid fragmentation.

Gonzalo
