Thanks James for this frank statement. 'Involved' means a software developer who works according to SugarLabs gitHub procedures and communicates by sugar-devel. Those who are users of Sugar and dealing daily with the reality of its benefits and limitations are not involved but merely 'busy'.

It is wonderful to see a real discussion of the educational use of Sugar on this list. I am particularly interested in your programming syllabus for 5th grade students. I am trying to introduce text programming (Python and Javascript) to primary school students. I assume you did this class

Dave, It's not about 'splintering' discussion. There are a lot of logistics for a physical event, from "I'll bring X, Y, Z" to "meet us here on Friday" that simply _should not_ be happening on the iaep mailing list. Dave Crossland wrote: I agree with Caryl, in that unlike me and the 229

I agree with Caryl, in that unlike me and the 229 others not doing anything for scale, she is doing something and that should only be commended. I also think splintering the discussion in many mailing lists is a pity, since email reader app features exist to deal with muting uninteresting

Thanks Alex, Don't worry about Tony and Caryl. Like the other 230 or so subscribers, they are too busy to be involved. Rest of us on event-planning can keep them updated with occasional posts to IAEP. In other words; we split our messaging; for the too busy uninvolved we will say different

IAEP has become nearly moribund with our current emphasis on developer-developer communication. I think this discussion should remain on IAEP to remind the subscribers that this is fundamentally an educational project not a software development project. As I understand it, olpc is ok but OLPC
