One more group that I would like to introduce
The Wellington OLPC Friends in Testing have offered to help test
upcoming SoaS releases!
This presents us with yet another opportunity to create useful and
effective feedback channels.
One interesting piece about the Wellington testers is that th

The two groups are Sugar Labs[1] and teaching open source[2].

I'm not the target market for SoaS but I am a teacher and I know a

There was a recent discussion on IAEP with regards to the management of the
