[Sugar-devel] The Sugar Network technical implementation overview

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Can you explain what is your idea about implementation?
Is a web application in the school server? Is a client activity and
software in the server?
Is a social network?
How is resolved the communication if there are not connectivity?
