Line 1:
Line 1: − + − Sugar Labs was created to provide a mechanism for supporting the Sugar community of volunteers. These volunteers are engaged in a variety of activities: some are writing software to improve Sugar; some are porting Sugar to new platforms; some are developing new activities that run in Sugar; some are helping to debug Sugar and help with quality assurance; some are writing documentation for Sugar developers and for those who use Sugar in the field; some are developing new scenarios for learning with Sugar; some are using Sugar and reporting upon their experiences to the community; and some are providing help and support.+ + − Since we started Sugar Labs, we have been receiving a number of requests for help: porting Sugar to new distributions; tuning Sugar on a specific hardware platform; developing specific Sugar activity; helping with support in specific deployments, etc. Please use this page both to make requests and respond to request for help.+ + + + − + − A Sugar user manual can be found [http://en.flossmanuals.net/Sugar here] ([http://en.flossmanuals.net/Sugar/FM_Sugar_24Sep08.pdf PDF]).+ + − ===Submit a bug===+ − Please report problems [[Submit_Bugs/Problems|here]]. − ===Request new features===+ − Please request new features [[Request_New_Features|here]]. − + − ====Request: LiveCD in Spanish====+ − :Purport: I see as one of the selling points of Sugar that a non-expert user can use computers "off the bat". It has been reported to me that currently the LiveCD requires some tweaking at startup to adjust it to a given locale, which I feel is to ask too much precisely from users that are not skilled. <br> Goal: a LiveCD version that is localized in Spanish from startup, with no tweaking required, to be distributable among the Spanish-speaking public. − :Contact: yamaplos at bolinux.org − + + + + + + + + + − + + + + + + + + + − + + + + + + + − + − + + + + +

===Sugar user manual===
===View wiki [[Special:Categories|categories]]===
Many of the pages on this wiki are tagged at the bottom of the page with "Category:" or "Categories:". (A list of all the categories and the number of pages in each category is available at [[Special:Categories|Categories]].)
:For example, look at the foot of this page: it has the tag '''Help'''. If you click on the tag, it will take you to an index of all other pages tagged '''Help.'''
:You can see all the pages tagged 'FAQ' by following this link '''[[:Category:FAQ]]''', which takes you to an index of all of the FAQ pages. There is a link on each FAQ page for asking new questions.
:Similarly, '''[[:Category:Help]]''' shows pages tagged as 'Help', and '''[[:Category:HowTo]]''' shows pages tagged as 'HowTo'.

===Discover [[The Undiscoverable|the undiscoverable]]===
We have tried hard to make it easy for children to [[Discovery|discover]] what they can do with Sugar software without being told. But that isn't always possible. So on '''[[The Undiscoverable]]''' page we have a list of things that teachers should know about, and be able to demonstrate. If you find some feature of the software incomprehensible, please add it to the list, and we will see what we can do for you and everybody else who runs into the same problem. Sometimes the answer is a click of the mouse away, but not always. We are, after all, introducing children to all of human knowledge. They will inevitably need help with much of it. It took all of our ancestors many years to get this far, so it is alright if children spend a few years hitting the highlights, and getting help to do it.
===OLPC Project Help and Information===
OLPC represents by far the largest Sugar deployments. For general help and information about the OLPC Project, please see these links at the [[olpc:The OLPC Wiki|OLPC Wiki]]:
