[Sugar-devel] Porting to Python 3: GSoC 2019

[Tony Anderson]

This 'ideas list' is hard to follow:

The criteria are excellent. Howver there appears to be only one idea, 
not a list.

The idea is to port Sugar to Python 3 - this seems to be a necessity 
-not an idea. However, the description seems to limit this idea to 
porting only the telepathy interface to Python 3.

I had understood that the underlying idea was to implement the 
'collabwrapper'  and that activity developers can then replace the 
collaboration code with this toolkit capability. In this way the Python 
3 port would be only coded once and reused in several activities.

It would seem prudent to inventory the activities that need this 
capability - my guess is on the order of a dozen out of 400+. Such an 
inventory would enable prioritization and an evaluation of the ability 
of the collabwrapper to provide a common api.
