[Sugar-devel] Issue tracking on Github?

[Tony Anderson]

I am sure this would be helpful. However, the situation seems a bit more 
muddled.

The Sugar activities, which represent 90% or more of the Sugar lines of 
code, are being relocated to the github accounts of individual 
developer/maintainers - not under a single Sugar account. At the moment 
this information is recorded in the activity.info file of the activity 
itself. This change has not yet been implemented across all of the 
activities.

I don't understand the process. However, it appears that OLPC makes the 
release images. It decides which Sugar activities will be included in a 
release.
I gather that SugarLabs has no say in this.

I don't know the technical details, but it would seem desirable to 
separate issue tracking into separate Sugar and Sugar activity branches. 
The issues for Sugar related to releases (e.g. 0.108) and for Sugar 
activities to version numbers. Update to Sugar activities are 
independent from Sugar releases.
