I would like to thank everyone who contributed to make SugarCamp II a
success. From an organizational and personal perspective I was hard
on a lot of people. Hard, but I hope equally hard on everyone.
OLPC and SL are working on hard problems. Many of the problems we are
struggling with are unso
Hi, this is awesome feedback. I'm going to speak from the SugarLabs perspective.

This seems like a cool teachable moment if you are interested in learning
more about learning theory and vocabulary.

I have modified the Sugar application stack wiki page
http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Application_Stack#The_Sugar_stack
to have row headers. Each row is for a layer in the application stack.
They are:
* Library Collections (e.g., for the Browse Activity)
* Sugar Activities
* Sugar

All,
In order to facilitate non-developer use, I'd like to propose the addition
of the following:
- #sugar-users - a channel for non-development "how do I use this"
questions, akin to #olpc-help
- a sugar-users mailing list for the same purpose
Is this acceptable, or is some discussion

Instead of creating a new channel, why don't we merge with olpc-help
and rename it if need-be.
There's no reason to have two separate channels when 95% of the help
will be the same information.

Yes, but in my opinion Mibbit is easier to use for new users, and has the
bonus of not requiring us to host it ourselves.
