What people think about adding a deploy type Role ? 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...

I agree that an educator role is an obvious add, but in reality I'd want to put just about every other role skill under educator as I think we need educators working in all roles! Anyway, perhaps having educator skills/knowledge pushing all roles is enough; here's a quick stab at a possible Educator role text (please do make some edits!!) Description of this role: Focus on Sugar's educational needs. Skills you possess or want to learn: Explaining complex ideas well, people skills, teaching through digital objects, understanding of educational theories and obstacles, paedagogy, ability to communicate with and influence develkopers. Teams associated with this role: EducationTeam, ActivityTeam, DeploymentTeam Tasks typical in this role: Lesson plans, teacher guides, text book templates/samples, articles, leverage Sugar as an ideal platform for learning, provide guidance and feedback to those working on technical aspects of Sugar, setting educational goals. For the record, from feedback so far (and my own opinion) leans me in the direction of adding 3 new roles; an educator role, a testing-QA role, and splitting out a separate activity-developer role from the core-developer role. Anymore for anymore? :-) --Gary <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> > I think technical people are more clueful about what their skills > are and will click through to the next page where we can spell out > specific skills and specific tasks. > > I think we need to be explicitly welcoming to Educators.
