[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Re: [IAEP] Sugar Design Meeting/Reunión 21 September at 11 PM UTC IRC Sugar Meeting [DESIGN]

[Tony Anderson]

Could you provide an example of a problem with the UI or UX that 
requires improvement and could you propose a better way to handle it?

SugarLabs has decided to participate in GCI which gives us potential 
resources to tackle any of these problems which can be specifically 
identified.
