I have been encountering a particular issue using Android App Inventor recently. The error message says:
error your build failed due to a server error in the AAPT stage
It turns out this was caused by having too many extra images. Once we removed the additional unused images the problem went away.
Perhaps this will help someone.

I am working with a brand new class called Media Tech. Kids have naturally divided into groups based on interest, and for most all of their interests I had tools available that they could work with. For example, one group wanted to make videos, and I handed them cameras and a laptop and sent them to find a place to work. One group, however, wanted to make their own video games. I didn’t have an easy answer for them, so I asked my colleagues through Twitter.
Here are the responses, perhaps the resources will be useful for someone else wanting to help kids build video games.

I’ve noticed lately that some of my colleagues online have a very large number of followers. Not to assign them a nefarious motive, but I wondered if folks really check out followers to determine whether they’re real people or spammers. It’s a question that interested me, and just for kicks I sent it out to Twitter. Here are the 15 or so responses that came in within an hour. Looks like most folks do check it out.
- NMHS_Principal: I try my best to block obvious spammers, other than that anyone can follow
2010.12.30, 2:18am - russgoerend: new follower invites filtered past my inbox in gmail. I go through every few days to follow back, etc.
2010.12.30, 2:51am - Digimom: If the name makes it obvious it's a spammer, I block. Otherwise I don't worry about it until/unless I get spammy retweet
2010.12.30, 2:23am - msstewart: I occasionally go through and delete obvious spammers but only bc I like to tidy up
2010.12.30, 2:13am - paulrwood: I go through the list about once a month. Do a little weeding.
2010.12.30, 2:23am - dmcordell: I do check - won't follow spammers or people who just RT without ever injecting original content or engaging in conversations.
2010.12.30, 2:17am - jorech: I look...anyone but spammers...
2010.12.30, 2:12am - savasavasava: I DO care. I look at them all and decide whether to follow them
back or not, report spammers, etc. I'm on twitter to interact :)
2010.12.30, 3:09am - bcdtech: I do check, and block some. I have tweetdeck running in school, so anything that comes up must be Ok for kids too.

2010.12.30, 2:25am - tcooper185: I check my new followers, and report some as spam. Don't care about the Realtors and other randoms who follow me.

AX allows you to alter any character's accent always using the same key. This applies to symbols as well. For example 2 then F8 gives ², e then F8 gives é, pressing F8 again gives ê and again gives è and so on. There is no need to remember any key combinations or use different keys for doing what is basically the same thing for example à , È « and ì are all created by typing the base character then F8 as required

This project started for two main reasons… 1) I am a feed junkie and having reader w/in Gmail feeds that addiction. 2) I was wanted to see and add things to the full calendar based on the email I was reading at the time. What started as two userscripts has evolved into Integrated Gmail. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback, beta tested, etc.
