==About Share Favorites==
[[File:ShareFavorites-icon.png]]
The Share Favorites Activity shares Sugar desktop favorites among Sugar users.
== Where to get Share Favorites ==
The Share Journal Statistics activity is available for download from the [http://activities.sugarlabs.org Sugar Activity Library]: [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4690 Share Favorites]
The source code is available on [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sharefavorites the Sugar Labs Gitorious server].
== Using Share Favorites ==
There are two modes: share and join. Presumably, the one who first launches the activity and shares it is the classroom teacher. Students then join the activity from the Neighborhood View. Nothing except sharing and joining is required. Everything else is automatic.
Sharers will see XO icons appear on the screen as joiners join and download favorites.
Joiners will see an animation of activity icons as favorites are downloaded.
'''Caveats:'''
# It is necessary to reboot in order to see the new favorites.
# If favorite activity is not found on the joiner's machine (must also match version number) it will not be marked as a favorite.
