[Sugar-devel] Dashboard Project Meeting Logs (19/08/2019)

[Hrishi Patel]

Thanks for the suggestions.
I agree with you for the naming of the widget.
I've considered using Cairo approach and will start working on it soon.
Sorry for the confusion about me using Sugar V1, I am not proposing for a
version jump. We could release this feature in the next version (maybe
after 0.115).

Regards, Hrishi P.
