[Sugar-devel] Activity Collaboration: Join Option on same XO
Hello Everyone, It is the first time that I'm e-mailing on the list... Please excuse any omissions :) While testing OLPC Images, I observed the following: 1. Put an activity, say Maze/Chat in Neighborhood mode 2. On the same XO, go to Neighborhood view 3. The activity icon is seen in the view - hover the mouse over that icon 4. Join option is seen on the Menu Question: What is the purpose of Join option on the same XO itself, which is sharing the activity? Viewing that option on neighboring XO's is understandable as they have the option of joining/sharing the activity. Would appreciate clarity on this point!

Re: [Sugar-devel] Activity Collaboration: Join Option on same XO
At least historically, if you clicked the Join button and were already joined to an activity (or sharing it) you would be switched back to viewing the shared activity. Potentially more of an issue is that if you resume a Journal entry for a previously shared session, activities will attempt to resume sharing the activity, which to the best of my knowledge doesn't always work (SL #525 and potentially some others; OLPC #4797 is related).
