I do care.

We face a similar problem for Etoys, and there are even less Etoys developers than Sugar developers. However, there are many more Squeak developers than Etoys developers (*), so our strategy is to make it as simple to contribute as possible, and also raise the visibility of Etoys in the larger Squeak community. We'll see how that plays out :)

(*) Etoys is implemented in Squeak, which is a programming environment invented specifically to create authoring tools for "children of all ages", but nowadays is used for all sorts of development, ranging from mobile devices to web services.
