The Sugar on a Stick project, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick, truly needs new contributors. Peter Robinson, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pbrobinson, is the lead contributor. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Sugar_0.94. He is very busy with packaging support, and seems now to be in the critical path for the new OLPC XO-1.75 ARM builds, http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.laptop.org/msg27817.html. He will likely respond with ways you might assist. Thomas Gilliard, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Satellit, is an active tester. See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS . I, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:FGrose, have been working on Sugar Clone, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone Sebastian Sziallas, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sdz, and Mel Chua, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mchua, have moved on to other projects. Packaging Sugar Activities, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_Activities, in Fedora is one need. Mel and Sebastian prepared a classroom last year, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom/Packaging_Sugar_Activities, to help. Sugar also has a rich set of Activities for music and sound processing, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Tam_Tam. Art Hunkins, http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/user/652, is active developing a new SamplePlay Activity, http://www.mail-archive.com/sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg22396.html You might also collaborate with David Schönstein<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Dschonstein>, who prepared, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Sound a while back. I hope you find some ways to contribute, even by asking more questions. Best wishes, --Fred
