Some ideas are not easy to discover; the concept of guided [[discovery]], where a mentor helps point a learner in a fruitful direction, can accelerate the pace of learning. Some Sugar features are not easy to discover and while we are working to improve upon this, we provide some guides to discovery below.

If possible, rather than adding to the below list, the official documentation at
[http://www.flossmanuals.net/ FLOSS Manuals] should be updated instead (it's a wiki, too).
No matter how well we do in making Sugar discoverable, there are necessarily some things that even a born lever-puller and button-clicker will not find easily, or will not understand fully. This page contains a list of such things, ranging from the almost but not quite obvious to the entirely opaque. We can consider whether some of these can be improved, but we know that there is a limit. So we have to alert teachers to these issues, and assist them to alert the children.

We should probably create a subpage for each of these issues, or point to an existing Wiki page that has the information.

Again, all of these items should be clearly documented and even specially called out in the [http://www.flossmanuals.net/ FLOSS Manuals] Sugar and XO documents.
