What do you mean? ASLO is based on very old technology, which is going
to get broken.
10/10 would love to improve ASLO. I actually did an "ASLO2" effort a
while ago, although that failed for reasons that are documented on my
blog. I would be up for using a AppStream and PackageKit based stack
to reinvent the activity store experience though.
Re Sugar using python2; a port to python3 was previously investigated
as part of last years GSoC. We can port it baring our telepathy-python
dependency. (FYI there has not been a commit for telepathy salut or
gabble in the past 2 years. Dead upstream? Still, there are so many
bugs that affect sugar. 10/10 would love to port collab to using
something like Matrix.Org - the spec is *way* is more easy to
understand than telepathy. Telepathy seems much more complex than
Sugar needs - we don't need abstract multi-backend support.
Thanks,
Sam
