[Sugar-devel] Vision

Speaking only for myself. In origin, Sugar was the software provided 
with the OLPC laptop. It has become obvious that in the long run, Sugar 
must be able to serve more than the XO platform. I suspect Sugar will 
need to be viewed as a software project which supports multiple 
platforms including the XO. Because Sugar is based on Python, the 
Android form may need to be Sugarizer. Sebastian Silva has just given us 
a way to leverage the library of Sugar activities outside of Sugar, 
another way to extend the benefits of the Sugar community.
