I think this started with an observation from Adam. We have used
deployment in the community to refer to the institution where the
laptops are located and the overall environment; hence, the
Deployment Guide. In our current context, Uruguay is not a
deployment but each school in Uruguay with laptops is a deployment.
Some may be doing well, some not so well. <br>
<br>
Intervention sounds like taking some action in an ongoing situation.
This is rare (Uruguay, Peru, Rwanda may justify intervention since
the deployments were and are being put in place by the national
government (Ministry of Education). In many others, a deployment is
made by a sponsor ($) and a dedicated individual or team who visit
the school or institution, deliver the hardware, set the system up,
and provide initial training. Intervention does not sound like the
right word for these cases.<br>
<br>
What we need to understand by deployment or 'intervention' is a
school or institution which has multiple laptops (normally XOs) and,
possibly a school server and lan, and, probably little or no access
to the internet.<br>
<br>
From a Sugar community perspective, we are talking about a
'customer' or 'client'.<br>
<br>
Maybe 'olpc site' would be good - where olpc is the community name
not the commercial OLPC.<br>

Laura an I are using 'intervention' as we think Sugar users are
not common IT and <i>deployment</i> does sound like an
impositive, top down approach.<br>
