Non-Coding Project Ideas

The projects listed below are of real interest to Sugar Labs. But because GSoC projects must involve programming, these non-coding projects cannot be done as part of that program. If you are nonetheless interested in pursuing one of these projects, please contact project the mentor(s).

Title	Mentor	Project
Sugarizer Primero (Sugarizer1°)	Education Team Caryl Bigenho Samson Goddy Jaskirat Singh perriefidelis Abdulazeez Abdulazeez	Brief explanation Sugarizer is a large collection of many Activities suitable for general audiences.
