May be you can try to look again and have a second impression!
It's very unlikely we will do a complete rework, but probably you can take
time to look at the concrete problems we are trying to solve.
Our wiki is a little chaotic, but if you are really interested in
participate in the project,
can start reading here
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Getting_Involved

As a designer, you probably will want to learn about our HIG

The xo have Sugar and Gnome installed.
Sugar is designed to kids from 6 to 12 years, you can run any other fedora
app in Gnome.

Great! May be you can write about your project and collect the information
needed.
You can discuss here or in IAEP mailing list too, and explain the project
in the wiki.
