[Sugar-devel] Develop Python-Web on Sugar, Sugarizer or Standalone - [RELEASE] Jappy 1

[Charles]

Hi Sebastian,

Nice work!  I thought I'd write a quick note for anyone slow, like me, who
didn't immediately realize that the "J" in Spanish "Jappy" is pronounced
like English "H" ... with obvious and profound implications for
pronunciation!

Greetings from New Mexico, (hope the above is correct!)
