[Sugar-devel] Vision

[James Cameron]

Good question, Justin.

Yes, there is a vision.  The draft
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Vision_proposal_2016 does talk about
"every computer device, from desktops and laptops to tablets and
smartphones".

I work for OLPC.  While OLPC has contributed to make sure Sugar works
on OLPC hardware, it works just as well on other hardware, and
sometimes much better, as hardware improves.

Sugar can be installed now on PC compatible hardware or as a virtual
machine using Fedora 23 SoaS.  This is very different to OLPC hardware.
