I haven't been communicating with Phillip because right now there isn't much he could help me with, and it's all things I have to do for myself: get familiar with GTK+ above all else; an interesting but time-consuming exercise. I made the basic mail activity and narrowed down and put in place some of the widgets I will use.
Still to begin addressing the actual functionality. So on the agenda for what is left of the week is to experiment with Tinymail, and come July be in a position to do the kind of work that can belong in a repository. :-)

I think at least my development environment is mostly set up
- Compiled Tinymail --with-python-bindings. Tested the python demo made by Phillip. It runs just fine from a sugar-jhbuild environment.
- However, I had trouble compiling it on the XO. scp'ing the built package across didn't lead to any success with importing tinymail in python on the XO. This will have to be sorted out.
- Made some mockups on paper
- Started work on a Sugar activity

I got back home on June 3. Since then, I've had far too much to deal with and haven't really done much which sucks. So I want to devote a lot more time everyday in the next few weeks.
But a status report is in order:
- Upgraded DSL to 1mbps (pretty much the max around here..)
- Received 2 XO's under the contributor's program (thank you OLPC! I had asked for one but I'll make sure they are put to good use. Wonderful little machines.)
- Developer keys received
- One XO runs Update.1 703 and the other Joyride 2035
- Mark Doffman was kind enough to update his Python bindings for Tinymail
Miscellaneous
- ran into #6650
