[IAEP] Priority languages to translate Sugar

[José Miguel García]

Hola!
Estoy de acuerdo con Caryl de fortalecer Sugarizer.
Es importante avanzar en función de las disponibilidades de los
despliegues, para poder fortalecer a Sugar
A modo de ejemplo, en Uruguay se están distribuyendo tablets para los niños
más chicos. La única forma de comenzar desde temprana edad con Sugar es a
través de Sugarizer.

Saludos!
