[Sugar-devel] Javascript Activities

[Tony Anderson]

I think you are already making a contribution. Please send this 
information to Lionel Laske (lionel at olpc-france.org).

Go ahead on activities. You will undoubtedly have to check that the 
activity works well in Sugarizer as well, but you can be confident that
it will work.
