I think I'm with Sean on this one.

A grumble from my side? Heh, well. See, this (Sugar_on_a_Stick) is still 
the page we're directing users at. And the SoaS pages are generally 
already way too cluttered. I'd strongly prefer not add different 
solutions there when they're not SoaS (which actually depends on the 
outcome of the discussion, which has been going on for a pretty long, if 
not too long time).

I don't object against adding anything to the Get Sugar! page (aka: 
Downloads). It's a pretty common page and should contain all the 
possibilities we're offering. But I really don't think that the SoaS 
project page is the place for that - because that dedicated to... SoaS.

I wonder if we've the time to play this game through (is it one, 
actually?) all the time. Yes, I'm assuming a good intentions most of the 
time, but sometimes even good intentions can cause confusing results. I 
wasn't that much involved in the old days, but if I recall correctly, 
even OLPC had pages "monitored" (or administrated?) by the OLPC Dev 
Team, when it came down to the critical ones.

I guess we've all better things to do than just watching wiki pages all 
day long. So please lets just try to come to a decision.

A last thought: Yes, Mel, you're right - sometimes pushing in this or 
that direction *is* needed to move things forward. And it's probably 
here the case, too. Thanks for trying to get us all on track!
