I've removed CCs, as these people are all on sugar-devel@, and replies do trigger limit on addressee count reported by Mailman software. I don't think a meeting is needed, but I can attend one if you call it. Please choose a time that both Rahul and I can be available. What to do and how to start is summarised by our GitHub project "Port to Python 3 via Six"; <a href="https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/1</a> It is a big job, but completing any part of it brings the finish closer. Rahul did good work on it last year. Each step will bring new errors and seemingly impossible problems that have to be solved. We don't necessarily have the solutions until we can consider the problems in detail. It isn't a class exercise. ;-) In general the sequence is; - port, test, and package the toolkit, <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3</a> <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/issues/382" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/issues/382</a> - port, test, and bundle the Hello World sample activity, - port, test, and bundle all the other activities in the core set, - port, test, and package the shell, <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar</a> <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/787" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/787</a> - port, test, and package any dependencies, (Xapian has been mentioned by our Fedora people), - port, test, and package the datastore, <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-datastore" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-datastore</a> <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-datastore/issues/7" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-datastore/issues/7</a> - port, test, and release any of our own dependencies used by activities, such as collabwrapper, or gwebsockets, <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/collabwrapper/issues/11" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/collabwrapper/issues/11</a> - port from Telepathy to TelepathyGLib, <a href="https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/4" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/4</a> - port, test, and bundle as many non-core activities as we can. Do ask questions to clarify, but with changed subject line. I suggest a subject prefix of "Port to Python 3".
