This is the document I wrote up when work on Sugar began. It's a little out of date, unfortunately, but it was designed specifically to address the target audience who has familiarity with "traditional" systems. Since, when I wrote this, G1G1 wasn't even an idea yet, it was put in a place specifically for developers; I'm not sure how much of this has emanated through the rest of the wiki. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience I hope you enjoy it; you feedback would be quite welcome, as it's very much in need of a refresh soon.
