Given that the services provided by the Board seem minimal, another
alternative would be to write a ComprisBoard -> Activity adapter in
python. That would probably be pretty quick but 1 it would only support
python boars 2 it would break if more functionality is added to
ComprisBoard.

I'd suggest to talk with the gcompris authors and see what they think
about the best way to go. GCompris and Sugar share quite a few ideas, so
bridging them totally make sense to me.
