Marilyn,

You probably want to look into the work that Aleksey Lim is doing for
SomosAzucar in Peru on Sugar Network.

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network

For instance, click this link to see a demo:
http://network-testing.sugarlabs.org/context/all/sugar-network.

I'm not at all sure that it's intent is to be the sort of
zero-footprint Sugar environment via web-browser that you seem to be
requesting, but I find it hard to keep up with all of the amazing
stuff that Aleksey is working on.
