planet.sugarlabs.org explanation blurb

[Walter Bender]

I think it should mention cookies somewhere.

Blurb: Planet Sugar Labs is a collection of personal blogs by Sugar
Labs community contributors. We encourage community members to speak
up about what excites them about learning, Sugar, and the Sugar
community. In the spirit of free software, we encourage sharing and
criticism—that is how we learn and improve. Also, by being open about
the thinking behind our work, we hope the reader will gain some
further insights into work itself. Sugar Labs is the collective effort
of a community of smart and passionate people working (in very
different ways) to solve the same problem: given everyone an
opportunity to learn to learn.
