I'm a believer in doing one job well, rather than attempting too 
much for the available resources.  I __do not__ expect one project 
to "solve the world's ills".

My particular concern is:  The wider Sugar makes its mission, the 
more opportunities there will be for single-issue persons to oppose 
the whole project.

If for instance "electricity in remote villages" MUST be addressed, 
set up a separate organization (with a different name) for that 
purpose.  Decouple the success (or failure) of *that* project from 
the "educational" goals identified with Sugar.
