First I sugarized Lybniz Graph Plotter, and after understand all the code and see some defects I decided to create my own plotter called Graph Plotter and maintain it as myself. > > It looks like JAMMath does need the i18n treatment, but it shouldn't be > difficult. > > I'm wondering if you've made any use of Como Hacer Una Actividad Sugar and > if so if you found it helpful. I have a printed version (in English) of your book. I'd say it's helpful and I still read it for check about collaboration in activities. I have pending to implement it on Graph Plotter.

But we are not at the best moment, Sugar is in a transition to GTK3. I'm also developing a desktop framework which provides compatibility between Sugar and other desktops, and reduces repetitive code. I think that framework finished, would be a new better way to develop a Sugar Activity.
