Hi,

Yeah. In specific, today I got Sugar running on the ARM SoC we'll be
using for XO-1.75 and XO-3, and it didn't require any porting at all.
It would have happened yesterday, but I had to work out how to get
past the Sugar intro/log

Yes, hacking open someone else's closed hardware can be a pain, and we
don't have that problem.

After spending some time with touch based devices,
I have to agree with Scott. Yes, you can "bolt on"
support for single touch to many activities, but doing
a good job of supporting multitouch is typically a complete
UI redesign.
We are trying to get an accelerometer into the design

For the record, Sugar runs perfectly fine on ARM, and has for y

I don't understand -- the XO-3 (and XO-1.5)

We'd like to kick off the process for the upcoming Sugar on a Stick
v.4 already, while gearing up for the SoaS PR at LinuxTag, too. And so
we're looking forward to your ideas and suggestions on the codename
and colour selections for the next release iteration. These will be
discussed at the next me

I got Etoys running on the iPad, and I can tell you that using touch
to emulate a mouse results in a very bad user experience. That's
basically why all tablet PCs failed to appeal to the general public.

I strongly encourage the Sugar team to consider rethinking the Sugar
UI from the ground up for touch. The "simple" port is likely to yield
a very unsatisfactory experience; "fat fingers" are just not precise
pointing devices, and a lot of gestures which seem intuitive for a
mouse don't really work
We'll be holding a Sugar oversight-board meeting at 11am EST (15UTC)
on Friday, 4 June 2010 on irc.freenode.net channel #sugar-meeting.
Please join in our discussion of the developer team vacancies and
Sugar certification.
regards.
