Help Requests:
on Usage
- First, see the help links above.
on the Wiki
- First, see the Wiki Team/Resources page.
on Submitting a bug
- Please report problems or bugs on Submit Bugs/Problems page.
on Releases
- First, see this page, DevelopmentTeam/Release/Releases/Sucrose/0.84.
on Distributions
- First, see the Downloads and Supported systems pages.
- LiveCD in Spanish
- Purport: I see as one of the selling points of Sugar that a non-expert user can use computers "off the bat". It has been reported to me that currently the LiveCD requires some tweaking at startup to adjust it to a given locale, which I feel is to ask too much precisely from users that are not skilled.
Goal: a LiveCD version that is localized in Spanish from startup, with no tweaking required, to be distributable among the Spanish-speaking public.- Contact: yamaplos at bolinux.org

on Sugar hardware ports

on Sugar activities
- First, see the Activity Team pages.
on Sugar deployments
- First, see the Deployment Team pages.
on Sugar Labs
See the Sugar Labs page. Sugar Labs was created to provide a mechanism for supporting the Sugar community of volunteers. These volunteers are engaged in a variety of activities: some are writing software to improve Sugar; some are porting Sugar to new platforms; some are developing new activities that run in Sugar; some are helping to debug Sugar and help with quality assurance; some are writing documentation for Sugar developers and for those who use Sugar in the field; some are developing new scenarios for learning with Sugar; some are using Sugar and reporting upon their experiences to the community; and some are providing help and support.
Since we started Sugar Labs, we have been receiving a number of requests for help: porting Sugar to new distributions; tuning Sugar on a specific hardware platform; developing specific Sugar activity; helping with support in specific deployments, etc. Please use this page both to make requests and respond to requests for help.
