Sugar Labs and Free Software are about collaboration and working together. Collaboration reduces redundancy of work done in the Free Software world, and improves the quality of the software produced. You should aim to collaborate with other Sugar contributors, as well as with the entire Sugar ecosystem that is interested in the work you do. Your work should be done transparently and patches from Sugar should be given back to the community when they are made, not just when the distribution releases. If you wish to work on new code for existing upstream projects, at least keep those projects informed of your ideas and progress. It may not be possible to get consensus from upstream or even from your colleagues about the correct implementation of an idea, so don't feel obliged to have that agreement before you begin, but at least keep the outside world informed of your work, and publish your work in a way that allows outsiders to test, discuss and contribute to your efforts.

The Sugar Labs community and its members come from various backgrounds and cultures. It is important to remember that Sugar Labs is a place for educators and developers; parents, teachers, and children; and speakers of many languages to work together. Try to find the appropriate forum for your topic, level or expertises, or language. If you come across a port that is in an incorrect forum, please respectfully redirect the poster to the appropriate. However, a project such as Sugar Labs requires communication between groups and languages.
