[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Sugar on Fedora looking forward

[Chihurumnaya Ibiam]

Hi Peter,

1) Clock and Record have been ported to gst1.0

2) There are quite a number of activities that have/are being ported to
gtk3 and more will follow.

4) There's an ongoing port of the sugar gtk3 toolkit to python3 and it'll
get to other parts of sugar soon.

I'd love to assist, but that'll be once i get Fedora up and running.
