;Brief explanation: Last summer we had a GSoC project to implement system-wide help for Sugar activities. It is now possible to get context-dependent help anywhere within the Sugar system by simply typing Ctrl-H or by clicking on the help button on the Sugar 'frame". This summer, we'd like to add a social component to our help. Using the same mechanism for determining content, we'd like to offer our users a channel for topical discussions. The most simple way to do with would be to launch them into topical IRC channels. However we'd like to also explore tools such as [http://www.discourse.org/about/ "Discourse"]. The first step will be to determine a platform for the social help in discussion with the developer community; step two will be to implement the social help mechanism in Sugar.
;Expected results: A system-wide mechanism for jumping into a forum for topical discussions about Sugar and Sugar activities; a service that can be dropped onto a classroom server for circumstances where Internet access is not available or permitted.
