As a mother and as a teacher, I strongly believe achieving quality in software we offer to children needs to be done; it is not a choice but a pedagogical responsability. I am not a Sugar Labs member because of a conflict of interest.

I believe your insights and technical skills are very relevant to the evolution of SL as a community and as an organization. > But if I were a member, I'd be puzzled > as to how you could implement your belief.
