Re: [Sugar-devel] [olpc-nz] Hints for a Sugar dev intro?
I've got a book on python for sugar somewhere. My memory of attempts was lotsa watching git darcs and svk pulls followed by days of watching builds and then a error.

This looks pretty good, Wade. Thanks for putting it together! I don't think we have anything like this about the Sugar core. I'll try to put something together.
