Muriel, I'm sending my reply to your mail to devel@ since I think that the answer is generally useful. Of the several data storage options that will be compatible with activity containerization via Rainbow, the two most appropriate for your task are: 1) The Datastore 2) ${SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT}/d

I don't think we have to worry about the order of "other" activities that are installed for Trial 3 or FSR. We do care that things like Write and Etoys and the Web Browser are visible in the Frame by default... -walter On 9/20/07, Marco Pesenti Gritti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 9/20/07, Walt

I agree we'll want some level of customization for the order, but it is a low priority. A high priority to ensure that we have the core activities: explore, express, communicate on the primary taskbar. Having to scroll to discover Write or Etoys (as per the 593 default ordering) is suboptimal. -wa

But my estimation, Etoys will be in very center of the taskbar by default. I'd say that is putting a high priority on hard fun. The idea was to put a combination of explore, express, and communicate onto the primary taskbar. We are certainly open to other suggestions. -walter On 9/20/07, Yoshiki

Hi Simon, I agree with your request to 'see' more information in the short term because it is nearly impossible to debug. I believe we needed this bug to be fixed because sharing just didn't work in some cases; but you are correct that without knowing if you are connected to a school server or not;
