Hello, advance appologies if this is not a good place to post, but here goes: I'm a developer of some opensource education software (http://www.asymptopia.org) and I would be interested to either mentor or otherwise team-up with someone more familiar with Sugar and the XO to port any of my apps to that environment. If you or someone you know is interested, please drop me a line. Thanks,
