[Sugar-devel] multiple lists

BTW, I love this trend to sugar/olpc-specific threads, but

 1) I do not have a Sugar <> OLPC filter in my brain. 
I guess there are some specific subjects, maybe hardware -> OLPC,
Sugar Activities and code -> Sugarlabs,
but what about implementation?  Wetware?
We could claim that OLPC Foundation going out of its way to turn its 
back to the OLPC community (I'm sure I am going to pay dear for that 
line) means the community should move elsewhere, but it doesn't feel 
right.  I am a reformer, not a revolutionary, and believe in bringing 
about change from the inside as long as it is possible, and at least the 
community still has a lot of voice in the laptop.org wiki, and it's been 
home way too long.

Right now I am to open a wiki page about using XO/Sugar for Health 
education in Bolivia.  Should I open it in Sugarlabs or OLPC wiki?  It 
is marginally a devel issue (specific software might be needed), but 
it's mostly a _people_issue, and we have great folks in both sides, and 
most of us have one foot on the boat and another on the pier...

I will open it in Sugarlabs just to be wicked, but there is something 
not quite right in having to chose between mama and poppa.

2) people are crossposting and now I have another list to deal with.


Hey Bernie, is cata ready?  That's where I'd be!
