Appreciative of the ideals upon which SugarLabs and OLPC formed, it’s deeply troubling to envision a commercial entity like FaceBook integrated into the Control Panel.

For a system in which a proprietary browser (Opera) or plugin (Adobe Flash) are controversial even as optional add-ons, can we really be headed for integrating a private corporation into the heart of the OS?

This is very difficult to understand…

Hi Walter

I have looked around the Sugarlabs site, but not found sufficient information about assistive aids to using Sugar. Primarily, we need to add in peripherals on a case-to-case basis that allow users with severe physical issues to use in place of the keyboard, mouse and trackpad. Typically, a two button approach (with onscreen choices being highlighted in sequence) works for most, but there is a lot of scope for innovation. I have mailed you separately about links to ongoing work in Uruguay, and it would be great to be put directly in touch with experienced users and developers there, and elsewhere.

Hi,
Sugar has a life of its own , i think it can be put to some good use in India. XO had its chances and had missed the bus but I think with computers like Raspberry Pi and Sugar we have a lethal combo as a learning tool for the masses.
