    Hi, Laura<br>
    <br>
    Unfortunately, this is not my vision of Sugar Labs or Sugar. I see
    Sugar as an educational opportunity provided to users of the OLPC XO
    <br>
    and others. Naturally, it takes software engineers to develop and
    maintain this software, but the vision must be about the result -
    Sugar and the <br>
    benefits if offers in an educational setting.<br>
    <br>
