In the context of 'Debian advocacy for Sugar' project idea, the testing is not testing of Sugar, but is testing; - of Debian experimental release packages, - of Debian testing release packages, - of Debian stable release packages, - of the above in combination with Sugar, Toolkit, activities, and all dependencies (such as GTK, Telepathy, and so on), - of rebuilding with Sugar Live Build, We might call this integration testing rather than unit testing. What is being tested is the work by integrators, or Debian developers. It requires knowledge and experience to discern the difference between problems whose cause is in Sugar, and problems caused by other packages such as GTK and Telepathy. Included in the tests should be the major features of the application, and the collaboration between multiple network instances. Thanks for the video of moving the Write activity over the display. Fascinating. I can reproduce it. Are any other activities affected? Can you fix it?
