[Sugar-devel] Sugar Developer Group

[Tony Anderson]

Hi,

There is certainly no lack of things to do. As you may be aware, a major 
effort is underway to port Sugar activities from Python to Javascript in 
anticipation
of offering them in an Android environment. There are certainly many new 
activities in either Python or Javascript (or both) which could be done. 
In the area of Sugar activities, there is another effort to port Python 
Sugar activities from GTK to GTK+3.

One specific area of interest is collaboration. Our current technique is 
being deprecated and so some work is needed to re-implement activities 
using a collab-wrap which provides a simpler api for activities which 
support collaboration.

As volunteers, in the end,  you should tackle what interests you. 
Personally, I would like to see more effort on new development; however, 
it is hard to deny the need for porting.

Tony
