[Sugar-devel] [ASLO] Release Read ETexts-27

[James Cameron]

G'day James,

Line 476 of your ReadEtextsActivity.py changes the accelerator for the
stop button to '<Ctrl><Shift>Q', but the default in Sugar is
'<Ctrl>Q', and the only activities that ought not use the default are
those where ctrl-q has special meaning, such as Terminal.

For speech, is there any reason you can't use the speech module in the
sugar-toolkit-gtk3 package?

Thanks for the gitorious pointer, I wasn't aware which source control
repository you were using.  Everybody else has moved to GitHub, but nobody
has taken down Sugar Labs gitorious yet, perhaps there are others like
you still using it.

Your activity/activity.info file can have a new field for that;

repository = <URL>
