View Slides is in git.sugarlabs.org

[Nate Ridderman]

There was an email thread about problems with git.sugarlabs.org not long ago
- see
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-January/011132.html. I
was having the same problem and I sent an email to systems at sugarlabs.org.
I'm not sure if it was ever resolved for my account, because I haven't tried
it yet.

Thanks,
Nate
