What you see on screenshots (the same on http://network-testing.sugarlabs.org) is a first rough and implementation for webui, i.e., Web interface to Sugar Network. The whole work includes not only UI, but also bunch of technical stuff, e.g., supporting Internet-less environements. In other words, UI question is really open. Besides, Sugar Network itself, will be used not only by kids, but also by, e.g., teachers who will prepare content for students, developers who upload new Sugar activities, etc. Thus, Sugar Network will have several UIs for different purposes. I've CCed people who are working on current webui implementation (that is intended to be piloted in several Peruvian schools). If you are have time, you can help to make UI more useful. -- Aleksey _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
