[age-related replacements for users] -1 Why limit ourselves? [Learner as a replacement for users] +0 I can't see any developer using this term easily[1]. Call the people who use a Sugar activity to learn/do/communicate either: People[a] who use[b] a Sugar activity to learn[c]/communicate/etc. a. People b. Users c. Learn/communicate/etc. -ers. Note how hard it is to simplifly that sentence but keep the activity noun, and eliminating that loses something. Martin 1. Smacks of a small community trying to re-invent the universe of discourse of two huge communities (educators, computer science). I think that's what we're trying to do, but should we do _that_ part of it _now_? pgpYoQKf0tIih.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
