I think you've done good on this! You've asked good questions and made some
good project blog posts :) 10/10

You're good here! You've attended more IRC meetings than me :D 10/10

Great! You blogged about it, and did the full osbuild method :) 10/10

We took a first pass at this when we decided to go with Sugar Desktop
instead of Sugarizer, but the milestones are still pretty vague and I can
easily see the project slipping... 7/10. To max this out, lets take another
pass at the end of this week or next weekend :)

You've been doing a lot of reading on the resources I posted, but I'm not
totally sure what you read, and if you found any other resources beyond
what I listed on the blog to read... 6/10. To totally smash it, I think it
would be great if you could go over your browser history and make a blog
post noting which resources you read and giving us a few tips on what was
most valuable about each one and what you think could be improved about
them too :)

I haven't seen any of those either 0/10. On IRC today we discussed a bug
with the existing font manager code, so I think it would be great if you
could write a issue report in
https://github.com/sugarlabs/edit-fonts-activity/issues and then make a
pull request to address it this week :)
