</span>Sugar tries to literally replace every part of the computer that a user<br>
sees. And believe it or not; that is a hard goal for a small free<br>
software community. 3 people in their spare time can't replace the<br>

You're 100% spot on. The future of SL is things like TurtleJS.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I am obviously a fan of Turtle (and Music Blocks), but I am convinced that, for example, Sugar on Raspberry PI has a big future. It is a very experience, relatively easy to set up, and a good fit for the maker space. We should push hard to really make the process smooth and robust.</div><div><br></div><div>-walter</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
