Actually, I ws referring to somewhat different window. There is a
gathering of teachers who are experienced with using Sugar in their

to the short-term needs to meet the release schedule but also be of
benefit to our 0.86 planning.

This particular survey will seek to recruit ideas from teachers. But
another survey is planned for developers along the lines you are
describing.
