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.
