Nice. Testing on the targeted machine is the key. I've wrote several Sugar activities in JavaScript. The most sensitive was KA View [1] (shortly a video viewer for Khan Academy videos). Because the activity was written to be deployed on our Malagasy deployment (where we've got XO-1 laptops), it take me lot of time to ensure first that it make sense to run videos in a browser on the XO-1.
