Hacking is under way on the new user-facing portal for Sugar activities, http://activities.sugarlabs.org/!  The site uses the backend Mozilla built for Firefox and Thunderbird extensions at addons.mozilla.org, called Remora.  To help out, check out [[ActivityTeam/Remora_port]].

'''We need help''' moving activities over to SugarLabs from OLPC's servers.  This is a great way to get started helping out the Activity Team.  See [[ActivityTeam/How_to_migrate_from_OLPC]] for instructions, and [[ActivityTeam/ActivityStatus]] for the list of activities that need to be moved.

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.

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.
