A main problem with *most* of the Sugar activities in Debian/Ubuntu: They run but don't scale properly to most screens. This is a bug that is hard to fix downstream, which is why most of them have been fixed or forwarded upstream. The second of course is that we don't have many activities: to this we have two solutions: * Wait for Debian to get 0.84 and get the autoupdater, which will download the activities to ~ * Package more activities :) -- Luke Faraone http://luke.faraone.cc
