Hi Sugar Labs, Akshit,

While I commend Akshit for following the GSoC idea, I think it's a
really bad idea to put the website under GSoC. I think this is not the
first time this idea has been put forward, with prototype and all, and
so far there's been no change.

The challenge is editorial / aesthethic / strategic - coding is the easy
bit. I don't think it's a good match for GSoC - Mentors please chip in.

I wrote a couple of ideas that I think are better matches. I might be
able to mentor if we get good proposals and the admin (Walter Bender)
assigns a slot for either.


Regards,
Sebastian

Brief explanation
    Sugar uses GTK3. Recently GTK3 released support for a HTML5 native
    backend called Broadwayd.
Expected results
    Make it feasible to run Sugar and pure gtk3 activities thru a
    browser (not Sugarizer). Docker container for Sugar on Broadwayd.
Knowledge prerequisite
    Strong background in GTK, Python and GNU/Linux. Docker.
