My problem with this exercise is it again postpones action to
fulfill the mission.<br>
<br>
The most critical need (under any version of the mission statement)
is to make Sugar available on a wide range of contemporary platforms
so that we can <br>
escape the view that Sugar is locked to the XO. We then need to wean
developers and GSOC candidates from the 'development environment' so
that they are testing Sugar by actual use.<br>
<br>
This doesn't appear to be as difficult as it appears. Ubuntu has
Sugar 0.106 available. Debian has a version which I hope to get
running today. <br>
A SOAS stick can be created by downloading the image and using dd.
However, no one has stepped up to make this prominent in the website
where <br>
browsers are likely to encounter Sugar. Google for sugar release is
likely to take you to laptops.org (or get you a wiki article on
sugar). For marketing purposes Ubuntu and Debian are using sucrose
as the name. I think this can be confusing and is a leftover from
Activity Central.<br>
<br>
So I believe there is real work to do,<br>

You can call it redundant if you think it's adds zero new
