Well, my impression is that at the moment we have a well defined
educational vision and a pretty solid UX design based on it. What we lack
is an hardware+software platform to run it on. So I don't think trying to
find a solution for that is getting "bogged down", all the contrary.

Thanks a lot for the feedback Peter. I will check these out.
For the record, I was thinking about Sugar on Linux on Raspberry, not
Android.

Sugar on the BBB should work fine with the modesetting driver OOTB
(I've still got some kernel bits to do in Fedora, 3.12 should be much
better) as it doesn't need 3D. The
Is 3D support for the BBB not planned/possible? I know we don't require it

Going a bit off topic, but a pretty major issue I see in our workflow with
Fedora is that we don't have a good way to develop unstable Sugar on
a stable Fedora. Rawhide is, or at least is perceived as, unstable. And I'm
not sure what would be a good way to, for example, produce and
distribute 0.100

Yeah, my target here is development and testing, not final users.
Basically I'm talking about what Gonzalo has been doing for 0.100. We could
automate that work, it just feels a bit wrong to me because it's not using
the normal Fedora infrastructure...

I wrote up a page for a proposed enhancement to the About Me section

Summary:
OLPC Australia uses gender and age as part of their program analysis.
They also use age to modify the behavior of some activities, e.g., the

Hi Flavio,
I'm not sure what you are flagging as a mistake exactly, there is quite a
bit of confusion around android and html5, it means very different things
to different people. So it would be good if you could clarify.
And I'm not sure what you are proposing. Certainly everyone in this thread
