+1 to Learners.
Regarding your questions, let's go with three instead of two and let's
start with the positive:
* What do you like about Sugar?
* What concerns do you have about Sugar?
* How can we, the Sugar community, overcome these concerns?

I prefer learners to users also.
But i wonder, will this result in overloading the common term learners
with our own specific meaning? is that good or just confusing?

"activities" is a common term too... it works because we are subbing
it for "applications".
I think this is a good track because it shows we see our users
differents than usual "users"

Docs that don't use familiar language can be a turnoff. 'User' is a
familiar nuisance. 'Supporter' might also be apporpriate, since some
people who follow and care about sugar do not use it day to day and

Sugar, to me, represents the courage of starting from scratch to build
the best learning environment for kids there is. With the associated
risks - of being different, being in unfamiliar territory, doing
things in untraditional ways.

How about wishlist fishing?

Another thought is Kid and Grown-Up. If we called our users Kids it would
emphasis that we are always thinking about our age range when we work on
Sugar. We are building a tool especially for kids and the grownups
(teachers, parents etc.) who help them learn.
