Hi all! This is an initial announce of the Sugar Network effort. This work was initially started by the [http://somosazucar.org/ Peru Local Lab] to accomplish the real needs that Lab people faced during the work on [[Deployment_Team/Peru/Puno|Puno pilot program]]. The Sugar Network is an initiative to try to leverage collaborative, contributing, and learning behaviour in Sugar Learning Platform. It was started as the only possible option for Sugar deployments which lack Internet connectivity, in particular Peru, but it also targets Internet-enabled environments. This initiative is tailored by the following decisions: * Be more concentrated on interactions between humans rather than between computers; * There is a real need to support Internet-less environments (but not only those); * The list of provided services should cover the full circle of collaboration behavior within the Sugar community to make Sugar Network the central place for collaboration; * Not trying to reinvent the Internet by duplicating all services available there making them off-line; * The list of provided services should be thought to make the Sugar Network useful also when operating on-line; * Support decentralized collaboration model to stimulate direct contacts (e.g.: between software creators and users); * Stimulate a "doing" workflow. Think about the Sugar Network more in meaning of [[Wikipedia:Social_network|Social networks]] rather in meaning of [[Wikipedia:Tcp/ip|TCP/IP networks]]. The intentions might be better explained by the [[Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Concept#Needs|Needs]] that Sugar Network is trying to solve. This is not about launching [one more] social network service around Sugar community in the Internet, but the effort to have feasible solution that can work in the Internet-less one teachers schools that will take part in Puno pilot program[1]. That should help with keeping this discussion constructive.
