As a new independent learner, there is no question that it is
difficult to "learn Sugar" but why would someone want to? I want to
because OLPC is on the right track toward the education that should
have been researched, implemented and supported for the last 20 years.
What is amazing is that those empowered to provide education to
millions of the world's most needed children actually get this.

It is about priorities, passions and limited resources. Most of the
people who have contributed to date have been comfortable with the
technology and wrote documentation for themselves and other
like-minded users, and this has worked well to satisfy the needs of
the primary audience - those implementing whole school XO adoptions.
However, developing training and documentation for other audiences has
not been provided for whatever reason.

I doubt that this is the first time someone has indicated that they
had a problem learning Sugar. Apparently little if anything has been
done in the past to address these specific concerns. The interest in
the current situation is encouraging. It is never too late to provide
additional information for those who are interested enough to point
out a need that is un-met.

Good start on a dialog to discover what is needed and what can be done
/ provided to make it easier for other interested audiences to "learn
Sugar" as they understand it.
