[Sugar-devel] Question about Sugarizing a Python program

[James Simmons]

Lam,

Glad you like the book. I would point out that the chapter on version
control needs updating. While git.sugarlabs.org still exists, the official
place to put code for Sugar Labs is in Github, under the sugarlabs
organization.

Like this:

https://github.com/sugarlabs/readetexts

Other than that you should be OK.

James Simmons
