Thanks Caryl! When you talk to the tech savvy ones please ask them to help us test it so we can get the bugs out and get it "Grannie ready!" There has been amazing progress in the last few weeks but I want to keep people excited not angry that it doesn't work, so please manage expectations. ;) We need those tech savvy people but I don't want educators to try this in their classes tomorrow, get frustrated, and never try it again. We aren't quite there yet. Thanks!

There has been a lot of interest in SoaS here. Some folks I have talked with are quite tech savvy and will probably have no problem going to our web site and downloading the software successfully to run on their computers. I gave all of them the url that will let them do that. However, there are a lot of educators who do not have the technical knowledge to do it. I will admit that, at the moment, I am one of them. However, I plan to make all of that change! With the help of some of you, I hope to successfully master the process well enough to write another one of my plain-English "Grannies Guides." We could call this "Grannies Guide to making and using Sugar on A Stick." It will be something that will let any educator (or anyone else) who wants to run Sugar on their non-XO machine, do it. I'll need lots of help doing this. Anyone want to help? I have one more day at the conference and I have lots of things to catch up on when I get home so I won't be able to start on this for a week or so.
