Thanks to Michael Stone (for his feedback and sharing the [1]), some
clearance about major purposes or this initiative:

    This work was initially started by the Peru Local Lab[2] to accomplish
    the needs[3] that Lab people faced during the work on Puno pilot
    program[4].

    The major purpose are:

    * Connect students and teachers, from different Internet-less
      schools, using hight-level software that is an analog of existing
      in the Internet social services, like Wiki;
    * Connect students and teachers with educators, trainers and
      supporters that work especially for local deployment but are
      located far from schools and can't visit schools on regular basis;
    * Connect students and teachers (with deployment people's help) with
      the rest of Sugar community (that can reuse the same software
      being connected via the Internet);
    * In case of having connectivity, Sugar Network should be still
      useful by providing close integration of its social instruments
      with the rest of Sugar Platform, supporting Sugar, and learning
      in general, specific aspects.
