[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] Design for a.sl.o and sugarlabs

[Carol Farlow Lerche]

I think a simple design such as Josh's is ideal to use for all kid facing
pages.  The school server could benefit from a similar theme.  Personally,
while I think someone talented (as Josh obviously is) could make a related
theme for adults and kids, it is much more important to have a less
text-intensive, more kid-friendly face for the target audience, which is
kids.  One comment on the design itself...perhaps have a thumbnail
screenshot of the activity visible for enlargement if available?  We could
encourage authors to supply one when the activity is submitted.
