Also, the black highlighted phrases, couldn`t they be colored with
another color? I think the idea interesing, its just that it looks
strange to have them around with a black background, perhaps a
different highlighted mode would be best. But once again, I don`t know
the philosophy of the graphical design of the website, so rock on your
vision.

>> 6. Lionel Laské has been looking into the use of Mono as a Sugar
>> resource, opening up to us the .NET community. Please see his post,
>> “Mono on Sugar for dummies”, on the French .NET community site

>> 8. Sascha Silbe "finally managed to get Linux working" on his phone,
>> so he couldn't resist installing Sugar (See

>> http://sascha.silbe.org/photos/dsc04711.jpg). Sascha says, "No, it
>> isn't really usable - only 64MB of physical RAM means swapping ~30MB
>> to SD just to start Sugar (no activities running). Sugar isn't
>> touchscreen-"compatible" as well (there are no "plain" movements, just
>> clicks and drags)." But it looks great.
