</div>We discussed this at XO camp, and people from Sugar Labs were<br>
considering not supporting activity development and focusing on core<br>
sugar development. </blockquote><div><br>This is correct.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Has this changed? In general, do you expect that<br>
priorities for toolchain and activity development will be the same?</blockquote><div><br>In general, sugar-core and toolchain development is a higher priority than generative Activity development (Activities that lower the barrier to Activity development). It's highly unlikely that non-generative Activity development will be supported.<br>

I expect that many activity development and student projects<br>
interested in working with current schools will apply for both OLPC<br>
and Sugar Labs projects; they are welcome to apply to both, and those<br>
doing work relevant to Sugar should be encouraged to! Applying to<br>
multiple GSOC groups is standard practice; students do not need to<br>
choose. We had a couple of students last year who ended up working on<br>
OLPC related projects for other orgs.</blockquote><div><br>Yup, I remember that. :) We talked with Cjb about shuttling relevant apps back and forth as needed - what we're doing right now is setting up guidelines that will hopefully minimize the amount of sorting that's needed, then waiting for students to come in, then sorting. Double-apping is not a problem.<br>
