I hope that the mission and the ecology include bringing teachers,
students, and parents together on creating the new curriculum and a
new kind of Free textbook incorporating Sugar software capabilities. I
am concerned that we are putting so much effort into software and
essentially nothing into new textbooks. (FLOSS Manuals and some
developers are doing a great job on documentation, but that is a
separate issue.)
