1. <u>Developing a faster, secure and customizable browser activity for Ubuntu Sugar Remix.</u></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Since Ubuntu Sugar Remix does not have a stable 'Browse' activity due to the hulahop package problem, we aim to develop a new browser activity implementing Google Chrominum base and functionality making the browser faster, secure and customizable. The same activity can be used for XO where the performance is crucial given the hardware specifications it has.</div>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">If Sugar needs to be spread across in India, we feel the need of incorporating regional languages into it. This would include activities and applications available in regional languages. A new reason why Sugar can be used in Classrooms, even in Sub-Urban areas.</div>
