This is a bit of a problem. For example, I encouraged the Kiwix developer to make Kiwix available for Sugar, which they did, and I now have to ask them to port it to the ARM architecture (as they had too few feedback on Kiwix, I doubt porting Kiwix on ARM is a high priority task.) > If you have found one, please do let me know the activity name, > version, the version of Sugar you tested, and what hardware type you > were trying to get it to run on and I'll take a look and update the > compatibility flags.
