Wanted: List of Sugar activities for the XO-1.5

[eric b]

Hi all,


To avoid useless discussion, and just FYI, *it is of course* possible  
to create something similar to the existing Linux language packs.  
Means .xo (or otherarchive type) around 10MB every, to add a given  
locale.

Our current issue, is simply time and limited resources (human mostly).

Now, if somebody joins and help, we should be able to provide those  
archives, of course.


Regards,
Eric Bachard
