More practical thoughts.

Unfortunately, Sugar Labs community is not overcrowded by designers and
usability specialists (though, some people think that such overcrowding
is not good for Gnome:). And, not all projects started within the Sugar
Labs (Sugar Network is a recent effort) have rapt attention from UI and
edu people. Laura and Sebastian (people who work on Sugar Network webui)
do some efforts to involve people from Peruvian community, but afaik,
there are no more people who can work on webui on regular basis.

You posted some UI notes, if you want, we can work on Sugar Network UI
in more practical way. (/me is waiting a response from Laura and
Sebastian here).
