Wade, You said: " if only we could put every Sugar developer at a deployment for a week." I am a teacher and doctoral student managing a deployment of 150 XOs/SOAS and would love to have this happen!

As a programmer I appreciate a good technical solution to this problem. I think it's more a personal problem than a tech problem though. E.g. we need better relationships between developers and users, more than we need a better form to fill in. And that's really a job for the project leadership, mostly by introducing people and encouraging them to follow up. Tomeu's recent visit to Laboratorio Tecnológico del Uruguay is a great example; if only we could put every Sugar developer at a deployment for a week. I joined the sur list and use Google Translate to feel at least a little bit plugged in :) Still, I occasionally send emails to deployments asking things like "Are you guys using Typing Turtle?" and "What kinds of activities could you use?" but rarely hear back. I guess it's a problem when most of the developers speak one language, and most of the users speak one of many others. <div class="im"> > I'm personally for lightweight collab.sl.o(to meet only mentioned above > issues) and reusing existed development related resources like > wiki/launchpad/mls for development process. </div>What do you think about making this idea into an activity, instead of a website? We could take my "Report a Problem" control panel and turn it into a "Feedback" activity. I already have the "log collector" server set up on SL infrastructure - we could turn the feedback into a RSS feed for developers who could detect trends. I'm not sure about the voting stuff - we hardly get any reviews on ASLO as it is, my Typing Turtle score is down to 3 stars because of one middle school kid :) (BTW, there seems to not be much user representation in the discussion about 0.88 features, which may provide some motivation for this topic) -Wade <div><div></div><div class="h5">_______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
