The original mockups for Write have been waiting for this moment to arrive.<BR>
For the reference of any who dare to take on the task (The button being<BR>
clicked is a "Highlight text by author" button):<BR>

Thanks Tomeu and Eben. Yes, we'll need to expand the abiwidget api. I'll look to do this if I can can get sugar-jhbuild to work again.<BR>
<BR>
BTW for those who recommend we abandon sugar-jhbuild, I definitely disagree. You definitely always want the fastest machine you can get for development work and for all it's problems, sugar-jhbuild gives the best way to get an up to the second snapshot of the development trees everywhere.<BR>
<BR>
Of course activities require regular testing on the xo hardware, which is now much more available. After I tried out Write on a B2 back in 2007 I realised that many speedups and optimizations were needed to get decent performance.<BR>
