What we are using right now is defined at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/OLPCAU/10.1.3

Here's a custom query for our dev system that shows the open issues
pertaining to Sugar activities:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/projects/xo-au/issues?query_id=6

What we need most is a good way to backup and restore XOs to and from
a USB drive. Jumping to a later version of Sugar (which I understand
has in-built backup/restore capability) is not on the cards right now,
so we need the Backup and Restore activities to work properly. There
was a change in OLPC OS 10.1.3 that breaks the ability to restore a
backup. The above query has issues describing our problems with Backup
and Restore. I have also reported them upstream:
