Over the past couple of weeks there has been an interesting thread
which started from AC's attempt to clarify our priorities for the next
couple of months. One of the most interesting aspects has been the
interplay between private/political vs. public/vision discussions.

David,
Certainly is good know plans, and started a interesting discussion.
In eduJam and in Montevideo, I was talking with the new AC hackers,
and tried to convince them to work on sugar 0.100 instead of sugar 0.98.

and will be good for
For phase one this openness in communication, I would like to open the
discussion to strategies for working together. My interest is how to
deal with the notion of overlapping yet non-identical goals.
As a case study, let's look at deployment and developer preferences
for stability and innovation.
I agree with your analysis about slow deployment updates versus fast
community cycles.
In my view, there are two alternatives:
* We can slow down a little the Sugar cycle, may be doing one release by
year,
but I am not sure if will help. The changes will take more time to go to
the users?

I just wanted to bump this line of questions as, it is the critical
set of questions which will determine the future viability of Sugar.

David,
I agree with James. I never heard something like that, is a big accusation,
and really do not help to move things forward.
As I was in the Sugar team of OLPC Association for the last 3 years,

and every decision was based on code q

About phase two: What is wrong with our actual Feature process?
About topics you are not talking, I would like AC spend some time trying to
push features upstream. That was almost not done in the last year,
and I am working on that right now, but would be good some help from your
part.

Indeed, deployments (both administrators and users) have much to
contribute to Sugar and the XO's community.
The challenge here was how to get and manage such tremendous amount of
feedback?

call to the community addressing this a

Excuse me butting in this talk , but as they are addressing the issue of
design, I think it's a good time to reiterate some proposals I have made
several times.
I think Sugar would do very well a change in appearance and in some cases
functionality. I say it should be graphically attractive to use
Flavio,
Would be good have concrete proposals about what you think can be improved,
to be discussed point by point.
About a easier implementation of collaboration, we discussed a proposal,
and I think Agustin started a implementation.
