<div id=":142" class="ii gt"> It would probably make a<br>
better first impression than the Wiki as it now stands. Further, we<br>
might take some of the better content on the Wiki (Sugar Almanac, for<br>
instance) and think about converting it into Floss Manuals.</div></blockquote></div><br>I agree. While I'd be reluctant to make it the front page, it would seem a sensible choice for the "getting help with sugar" link on the mainpage.<br>

I think we want to first "convert" our users to the idea that Sugar is something worth using/deploying, and then to "lure them in" to community participation. We have to keeep in mind we're serving a variety of audiences; most <font size="1">[citation needed]</font> people in school administration don't have the time / bandwidth to join a mailing list to find out more. Rather the "implementation people" in IT and teachers in the classroom are those who would provide the most value to the community, and they will probably (subject to verification, see below) still be able to find their way. <br>

We can even conduct some <a href="http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20030602.html">budget usability testing</a> once we get to the later stages. There are plenty of people who fit in those groups around my school :)<br clear="all">
