=== Problems logging in to Gitorious? ===
Gitorious users are sometimes having their IP addresses incorrectly blacklisted by OSU-OSL, the organization that hosts git.sugarlabs.org. If your SSH key is rejected with the error "Access denied or bad repository path", please open a ticket by emailing support@ouosl.org.

This has happened to a number of activity authors and we are working on getting it resolved.

===Move an activity===
'''We need help''' moving activities over to Sugar Labs from OLPC's servers. This is a great way to get started helping out the Activity Team. See [[Activity Team/How_to_migrate_from_OLPC]] for instructions, and [[Activity Team/Activity Status]] for the list of activities that need to be moved.
* ''trash@dev.null'' activities to remove
While moving activities, it would be great to check that the .pot files are up to date and the MANIFEST is correct. This will really help out the distro packagers.
===Cross-platform compatibility===
As Sugar is integrated into more distros and the hardware base expands, it is important to keep Activity developers informed of any issues they need be aware of. For example, when Sugar was only expected to run on the XO-1 laptop, it was safe to assume that the display was always 1200x900.
The [[Activity Team/Compatibility Tips|Compatibility Tips]] page is a place to accumulate tips.
===Modify Activities===
A guide has been written describing how to make simple modifications to popular Sugar activities. Examples include adding sounds to TamTam, blocks to TurtleArt, buttons to Calculate, etc.

The [[Development Team/Almanac|Sugar Almanac]] content has been migrated to Sugar Labs. It's a great, quick reference when building python Activities.

The [http://activities.sugarlabs.org Sugar Activity Library] is our user-facing portal for Sugar activities. The site uses the back-end Mozilla built for Firefox and Thunderbird extensions at addons.mozilla.org, called Remora. To help out, check out [[Activity Library]].

=== Activity Team users on activities.sugarlabs.org ===
Fake emails to identify users:
* ''activity.team@sugarlabs.org'' activities that are supported by Activity Team
* ''trash@dev.null'' activities to remove
===setup.py===
There is a handy utility that is a standard part of Sugar Activity bundles, setup.py. You should use it to create and update POT files, generate a MANIFEST file and update locale files, and create .xo and .tar files for distribution.
./setup.py genpot
./setup.py fix_manifest
./setup.py dist_xo
./setup.py dist_source
