[Sugar-devel] SoaS at FOSDEM

[Caroline Meeks]

Low floor no ceiling

A 4 year old should not face a dialog box asking gnome or sugar.  A 12  
year old with experience should be able to break out of sugar to the  
full power of Linux.  It's ok with me if the 12 year old has to toto a  
page in a wiki to do it.  Doesn't have to be super easy just possible.

Thanks
