Each day we have been working together for several hours while
collaborating over IRC on #ubuntu-sugarteam.  You are welcome to join,
but we understand how your 'Sugar on Debian' time is limited so you
prefer the mailing list.

As soon as possible, we will cover the debian bug tracker.  Tomorrows
plan is packaging with git lead by Luke and dipankar.  Setting up and
test sugar on Debian lead by kandarp.  Packaging activities lead by
neeraj:)
