[sugar] XO evaluation paper
Am I the only to have missed this paper? http://www.teachingmatters.org/evaluations/olpc_kappa.pdf The bits about the Journal makes me think that it's really the right idea, and it will rock as soon as we have a decent implementation of it. Also see the section about what they disliked... our roadmap is very much on target! Marco ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar

Where possible, it would be advisable to set up a school server to act as a switchboard for all the XOs in the school." Does anyone have a clue if this was 1) an hardware/wireless issue 2) a telepathy issue 3) a Write/other application issue, 4) .. something else? It would be a bit annoying if one of the fancy features of the XO was only usable in the lab, and not in practice :) Marc ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
