What people think about adding a deploy type Role ?<br><br>A deploy-type is the one that with different kinds of skills both technical and not technical, pedagogical and not pedagogical, deals about sugar deployments and it's success on different countries worldwide...<br>

</div>Hmmm, developer and web-developer are pretty different skills/tasks to<br>
fold into a role, I was actually in mind that really the developer<br>
role should be split into core-developer and activity-developer as the<br>
skill/knowledge sets can be so different (a teacher is unlikely to be<br>
a core-developer, but hopefully very likely to be an activity-<br>
developer).<br>
<br>
I agree that an educator role is an obvious add, but in reality I'd<br>
want to put just about every other role skill under educator as I<br>
think we need educators working in all roles! Anyway, perhaps having<br>
educator skills/knowledge pushing all roles is enough; here's a quick<br>
stab at a possible Educator role text (please do make some edits!!)<br>
<br>
Description of this role: Focus on Sugar's educational needs.<br>
<br>
Skills you possess or want to learn: Explaining complex ideas well,<br>
people skills, teaching through digital objects, understanding of<br>
educational theories and obstacles, paedagogy, ability to communicate<br>
with and influence develkopers.<br>
<br>
Teams associated with this role: EducationTeam, ActivityTeam,<br>
DeploymentTeam<br>
<br>
Tasks typical in this role: Lesson plans, teacher guides, text book<br>
templates/samples, articles, leverage Sugar as an ideal platform for<br>
learning, provide guidance and feedback to those working on technical<br>
aspects of Sugar, setting educational goals.<br>
<br>
<br>
For the record, from feedback so far (and my own opinion) leans me in<br>
the direction of adding 3 new roles; an educator role, a testing-QA<br>
role, and splitting out a separate activity-developer role from the<br>
core-developer role.<br>
<br>
Anymore for anymore? :-)<br>
