[Its.an.education.project] Making Sugar independent of OLPC

[Russ Nelson]

Excellent news.  Sugar on the XO has been somewhat ill-received.  Part
of that is simply because it isn't derived from Unix (as are all
modern operating systems).  Part of that is because performance on the
XO is a little lacking.  But these are surmountable problems, and I
think we need to explore different paradigms for user interfaces.
They won't come from Microsoft (innovator's dilemma).
