I have seen the wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 page list
Activity versions that were *older* than those listed for plain
G1G1.
That's exactly as it is supposed to work. G1G1 lists dev versions,
G1G1/8.2 the stable versions tested with 8.2.
I did say 'o.k.' to this explanation
There's a discussion going on right now at FUDCon with gregdek and cjb
running down the 20 or so forked packages and smoothing out how to
merge them back in. So there should be helpful updates soon.
Don't forget that we have not yet forked F10 to the extent that we did

I see two classes of forks
1. forks to use different compile/packaging options to eliminate
dependancies
2. forks to change the code (adding functionality in particular)
I'm not _that_ interested in #1, but am very interested in #2, especially
anything done to make things work with the XO

I don't think there are any other than the kernel that are forked for
hardware issues, and the stock Fedora i386 kernel will work with the
XO but the likes of numerous ethernet/storage drivers, ISA, MCA, Token
Ring and the like are of little use for the device :-) . There use to

If the activity developer has somehow learned how to update activity

The canonical documentation AFAIK is the update_url section of
the .info file in bundles:
current staging releases (9 and higher, i believe) contain some
new parameters which were added to the mouse driver. these
settings allow tweaking various timeouts related to touchpad

Hi guys.
Here's one problem we have.
How do we protect children from accessing porn or other questionable
content, and how do we prevent malicious persons from communicating
with kids, like say, child predators in IRC?
It's been said that people should pass a license exam before being
allowed
Hi Carlos,
I hope you don't mind if I give some blunt/opinionated answers:

questionable content, and how do we prevent malicious persons from
communicating with kids, like say, child predators in IRC?

not prevent cheating
