<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Clearly, you want to contribute to our
documentation. GSOC makes clear that Sugar Labs has at least three
separate elements: Sugar, Sugarizer and Music Blocks. I would like
to see you help us with the Sugar documentation. This is found at
help.sugarlabs.org. This documentation is made with Sphinx
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/">http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/</a>). Detailed information is
provided in help.sugarlabs.org/how to contribute.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">We are just beginning to think about
how to participate in GSOD as you can see from the
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoD">https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoD</a> link which is essentially a
stub. However, the above information in help.sugarlabs.org is
enough to enable you to make immediate contributions. As an
example, we need a section describing how to download and install
the SOAS version of Sugar. There are some differences in SOAS from
Sugar as implemented for the XO - e.g. SOAS does not have a 'Gnome
interface'. Another section is needed to document how to set up
Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows and how to install Sugar (sucrose)
to work with Ubuntu. This version does provide the 'gnome
interface' via Ubuntu itself but switching between Sugar and
Ubuntu is not intuitive. A third option is Sugar on the Raspberry
Pi where the alternate interface is Raspbian. These topics may be
directly useful to you as you need to be able to use Sugar and to
make screenshots.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Documentation of Sugar in the context
of the XO is important since that is the environment in which over
90% of our users operate. Further documentation that emphasizes
pictures (mostly screenshots) and minimizes text is critical since
the majority of our uses do not speak English as a native language
and attend schools where the medium of instruction is the native
language. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Looking forward to seeing you
contribution. Please feel free to ask for help on Sugar-Devel and
to the Sugar Labs education committee by the IAEP mailing list or
to me directly if I can be of help.</div>

<div>Yes, that it has been. Firstly, welcome to Sugar
Labs. While we are very excited about participating in
Google Season of Docs this year, I would like to
inform you that the planning for the same is underway.
You can follow the conversation on the mailing list or
watch for changes on the GSoD repository [1]. Till the
time organisations are announced as per the GSoD
timeline, I highly suggest you to start contributing
to Sugar Labs wherever you see fit. We are always here
to help. Hope that fulfills your request. <br>
