Two major changes have recently occurred in Sugar's underlying technologies. Firstly, GTK+ 2 has been obsoleted by GTK+ 3, and GNOME is now based on GTK+ 3. Secondly, PyGTK, the underlying Python library that Sugar uses to call into GTK+, has been deprecated in favour of PyGObject Introspection (hereafter "PyGI"). More background info can be found at [[~~http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/~~Features/GTK3]]. Goal of this hackfest is to remove the biggest blockers before we can start the porting and potentially start porting over.
