== Summary ==

This is the first Sugar Server Kit release that is being positioned as ready for using in the field, thanks to the [[Sugar_Server_Kit/Solutions/Paraguay_Educa_Server|Paraguayan pilot program]]. This release should fulfill needs similar to that were faced in Paraguay. The next step will be proving this system in restricted environments within the [[Sugar_Server_Kit/Solutions/Server_on_an_XO|Server on an XO]] project for SSK-1.2.

'''Unified API for sugar-server'''

'''Unified API for sugar-server'''

:: The major way to interact with sugar-server for now, is a [[Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-server#Services|RESTfull API]]. The API inherited from the OLPC XS is preserved when it is possible, e.g., except Journal backups that were implemented differently from the begining.

'''Clients are identified by profile UIDs on a server'''

'''Clients are identified by profile UIDs on a server'''

:: In comparing with 1.0 implementation, and OLPC XS as well, sugar-server-1.1 [[Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-server#User_identity_models|identifies]] clients by UID that is unique for particular user's profile, i.e., not by XO's UUIDs. That was done to cover usecases when the same hardware is being used for several users.

This release is entirely based on experience gotten during the work on Paraguayan pilot program, i.e., the functionality of Sugar Server Kit was improved and proven by using it in a school. As a result, the [[Sugar_Server_Kit/Solutions/Paraguay_Educa_Server|paraguayeduca-server]], the final Sugar Server Kit based solution, was created.
