Packaging our Activity has proven to be more difficult than we thought. We have read multiple wiki pages and compared our code to source code from example Activities to try and learn by example. Since one of our worries is that we are forgetting to import a certain component in the Python file, I will have to try to diff the example file with our own in looking at just those pieces that do some form of importing. I have also sent an e-mail to the sugar-devel mailing list to see if they can return to us a list of step-by-step instructions as to how to package the Activity into an .xo file format.
A couple of weeks ago we were able to get the project into a repository using RapidSVN (downloads available through this link), so any changes that may affect the file to "a point of no return" can be rolled back. Every member of the team has a working copy checked out so that we all can try and create the solution to our packaging problem. One note, our team member Jordan found that the .xo file format functions just like a zip file, and certain tools can merely extract or compact the associated Activity files. Hopefully during our next meeting we will have the solution or at least I will get a response from the sugar-devel support.
