Hello James,

  "Sugar Labs Social" is very familiar to last year project "Redesign
www-sugarlabs" but with a focuse. I have been receiving some feedbacks from
members / newcomers about Sugar Labs having a place contributors could
write documentation about new features and things around Sugar Labs
something planet.sugarlabs.org was supposed to do.

Since just migrating planet.sugarlabs.org to use medium.com API is too
simple to be judge as a Gsoc project. So I decided to merge with with a
platform with almost the same features with http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu
does for the Scratch community.

The Educational team need this project, so i quickly merged list if ideas
to one project to make it Gsoc worthy.

A place for educators and parents to hangout share lessons plans. Also a
place where users can write about Sugar Labs using Medium like platform.

So I am beginning to lose the understanding of what is "Gsoc" worthy
project should look like. Because this is a programming project.

I can't speak for other tasks because I am not it creators. But I see
almost every task their worthy of Gsoc. The reason for Gsoc is to introduce
students to Open Source world. I saw Lionel questions to the Gsoc list, I
saw the reply and I fully understand what they meant.


- Making a Beginner Guide,

- Migration of wiki activity pages to git,

Rather than strike them out, an alternative is to rephrase them as
_only_ the programming task they contain.  For migration of Wiki
activity pages to GitHub, this could be "write a program to migrate
the pages that will be tested extensively and then used only once."

I'd make these changes myself for tasks I'm mentoring, but I'm not
mentoring any tasks.  I'll place that responsibility on the mentors;

- Making a marketing animated website page of Sugar Labs; Samson,
  Hrishi, and Jaskirat.

- Sugar Labs Social; Shivang, Hrishi, Samson, and Jaskirat,

- Making a Beginner Guide; Samson, Shivang, Rishabh, Hrishi, Walter
  and Jaskirat.

- Migration of wiki activity pages to git; "Activity team", which
  means nobody specific?

+CC these; as I'm not sure if they are on sugar-devel@

-CC slobs@
