[Sugar-devel] [GSOC' 20] Idea Discussion (Port Sugarizer activities to Sugar)

[James Cameron]

Hello Saumya.

Activities for Sugar can be written in any language, but are mostly
written in Python (~90%) and JavaScript (~5%).

Activities for Sugarizer are written in JavaScript.

Both Sugar and Sugarizer share a Sugar Web activity library, which
provides API for navigation, Journal, and other services.

Do not rewrite a JavaScript activity in Python unless there is some
technical reason you can explain for it.  Why cannot it run as
JavaScript?  If there is a problem, fix it.

Do post your proposal as a PDF to the mailing list.
