Going to need a little further thinking in proper implemtation and handling of networking, let me know if 
you have any ideas.

Added a full GPL License V3

Added Mesh.py which currently is being implmented, I recieved these responses
from IRC regarding meshing:

<garycmartin> modell: Chat, Write, Calculate, Memorize, Arithmetic, Colors, Pippy, errrmm....
<modell> Thanks garycmartin
<garycmartin> modell: ... Browse, Turtle Blocks, Speak, EToys, Read
<garycmartin> modell: The Journal can also be used to 'share with --> friend' any object in the Journal, some activities work better than others, mainly just need correct mime types set so that each end knows what object type is being shared.
<garycmartin> modell: Journal example would be to create a Physics activity simulation (Physics doesn't yet directly support collaboration, it's on my todo list), switch to Journal where you'll see that activity object stored, then select 'share with --> friends_name' and your friend will receive a copy of your Physics simulation.
<modell> garycmartin I am working on a PopQuiz application where there is the quiz giver and quiz takers.  
<modell> garycmartin: just so you know the scope of my questions
<modell> garycmartin: thanks for the info
<garycmartin> modell: FWIW none of this _requires_ mesh networking capability, works equally well with standard wireless connections, ethernet, connections to a Jabber server.
<garycmartin> modell: PopQuiz cool , yea I've seen your git commits go past :)
<modell> garycmartin: is there a "standard" api for networking with sugar
<garycmartin> modell: I must admit it's not my strong point, but yes if you look at some of the above activities you'll see a pattern, let me just dig out one I particularly like (it abstracts much of the work away and basically keeps a 'document' in sync between multiple folks editing).
<garycmartin> modell: http://bemasc.net/~bens/groupthink/
<modell> Awesome garycmartin
<garycmartin> modell: Pretty sure Arithmetic, and the latest Pippy release use it. There was also a nice simple demo called SharedTextDemo kicking around.
<modell> I will be sure to check those out
<garycmartin> modell: http://bemasc.net/~bens/SharedTextDemo-5.xo
<garycmartin> modell: Perhaps I should email Ben, Groupthink should be more prominent, it doesn't seem to be in git.sugarlabs.org for easy access.
<garycmartin> modell: ahh, found it. It's over on dev.laptop.org, http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/bemasc/groupthink/

<bernie> modell: try hellomesh. it's on git.sugarlabs.org
<bernie> modell: no mesh capability on the XO-1.5
<bernie> modell: but Sugar collaboration abstracts the network topology away

Stubbed out classes
Merged teacher.py and student.py
Created windows from this link: http://pygame.org/docs/tut/tom/games2.html#AEN51
