I cannot test it, because all the jabber servers are down and I'm missing one of my XOs, but I suspect it does not yet work. Ultimately, this is supposed to be a quick hack, to be replaced in future versions by distribution functionality built into Sugar. That makes design decisions (like ObjectChooser vs. launch from Journal) even more difficult, since the "right" answer may not be the best choice. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHuwJpUJT6e6HFtqQRAuiFAJ9Ui1GMSw7elBxRMOWU3qR92jAA1QCcDENh GeS7anGyxGo1fqAQboC3fKc= =Fo0D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
