=== Project Plan ===
There are roughly 4 parts to this project plan: first get titanium running on the XO, second create a very simple learning activity with javascript and html5, third get that activity running on the XO in a roughly sugarized version of titanium, fourth extend the activity to take advantage of Sugar-specific features such as the Journal and Collaboration.

# The Browse Sugar activity uses the spidermonkey javascript interpreter, which is not optimized for hmtl5. Karma's animations may be prohibitively slow in Browse and require a version of Browse that includes the newer tracemonkey javascript interpreter.
