Xo-get with GUI (pyGTK)

[Chris Hager]

Hey all!

I am delighted to announce a graphical user interface for xo-get! Now 
it's possible to install, try and remove most available activities with 
a few simple clicks. Links:

Xo-get is now using a central Activity-Repository, which is synced daily 
with [[Activities]] and GCompris. It's very easy to add more 
sub-repositories.

    http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository
    http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository/xoget.xml

The repository counts 149 Actities:
* 44 from [[Activities]]
* 105 from gcompris

This structure has a few advantages:
* 'xo-get update' will not break on changes in the repositories
* supplying filesizes and system-names (which sometimes differ from the 
wiki-names)
* much less traffic on updates
* backup repositories


The project is advancing rapidly, ideas for further development are very 
welcome!

Cheers,
- Chris
