(I apologize if this has been discussed before but a quick search through my inbox and w.s.o didn't turn up any useful results.)
I was wondering about the upgrade options to get the soon-to-be-released (and very awesome from what I've seen so far) Sugar 0.84 release onto XOs? I know there's been a lot of work on that "on-a-stick" thingy but I think it's important to remind ourselves that today 99% of Sugar installations are on XOs. And while large top-down deployments like Peru and Uruguay might stick to OLPC's upcoming official 8.2.x release I assume that a lot of the smaller, often community-driven, pilots and deployments will be very interested in getting the latest Sugar code and features to the teachers and children as soon as possible. Or at the very least I'd personally be very interested in upgrading the 27 XOs in use by the children and teachers in our small Austrian pilot. Off the top of my head I'm wondering whether there's a chance to get the Sugar 0.84 release signed so it can be run on XOs without having to request a developer key? In case that's not possible is there a quicker way than having to request a developer key for each of those machines and then do a manual copy-nand on them? Thinking of copy-nand I realize that this would also wipe the Journal with everything the children have created so far... Is there any way to avoid that and do some sort of olpc-update that actually downloads the Sugar 0.84 release? As you can see I'm slightly confused at the moment so any comments and information is much appreciated!
