With more 'evidence' of the coolness of Sugar, people will get excited about SoaS perhaps like what happened around the Phun Physics package...

==Embedded Predictive text==
Despite the emphasis on a non text environment there are numerous areas of education that rely on learners writing text.
The integration of a predictive text system similar to that used in the windows 'Typing Assistant' and the Co:Writer software used on the specialist hardware text editor the Alpasmart 3000, Alphasmart Neo, and Neo2.
Such an integration would provide sugar with an environment that would support those with learning difficulties e.g dyslexia and additionally extend the learners vocabulary as such systems give several numbered options to choose from as you type a given word, when the writer sees the word, selecting with the cursor or typing the number or word then utilises the selected word within the text entry dialog or document.A simple Function key combination switches the system on and off for free typing. --[[User:R Draycott|dgd]] 20Nov2009
