[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 aspirant

[James Cameron]

Latest is Sugar 0.118.

For Sugar 0.117 and 0.118, activities should be downloaded from
v4.activities.sugarlabs.org rather than activities.sugarlabs.org.

Yes, you always require consent of author.  You should be able to read
the copyright to find the author, and read the license to find
consent.

Etoys activity has not been ported to new shell or Python 3, so not
surprising that it does not work yet.
