     <br> I plan to use acorn.js for parsing the javascript. On acorn, it is actually a very beautfiul API written by Marjin Haverbeke. Most of my inpsiration for this project comes from his own project eloquentjavascript, where he also has something similar to this project. We can consider his project to be the next advanced step our students can take after this, and obviously can always use this app as a scratch pad to test their code. Apart from the that I am curently using JS-iterpreter by NeilFraser for interpreting the xml tree returned by acorn.js. This library is a work in progreess. I plan to fork it and add more functionality for this project. As mentioned in the project description.

The impact is that the Sugar system is used at primary schools in regions which have no useful access to the internet but still should have an opportunity to learn web technology. The schools often have a school server so there is a local stand-in for the internet. The progression is to learn basic web page building with HTML and CSS, then move to learning Javascript. Initially their html files will reside in local storage and be accessed by file:///home/olpc/Documents/some path.html. Later they will have the opportunity to pull together a website and upload it to the server so that it can be shared with the other students. Students at this (or any) age need immediate feedback as to whether they have been successful. The goal of this tool is to give that feedback.</p>

     What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn 't around? How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?</p>

     <p>There will be times when the mentor wouldn't be available. Firstly, I would try to tackle the problem I am facing again, because sometimes in the second go the solution strikes. I am regular at the #sugar channel at IRC and also keep my self updated in the community mailing list and ofcourse the good old books(<i>Sometimes very basic stuff is clearly given in books but we just go through stackexchange and get spoon feeded</i>). In short I wont leave any stones unturned when I am stuck.

     We want to make sure that you can set up a development environment before the summer starts. Please do one of the following: Send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view, the drop-down text should have your email in place of "logout". Send us a link to a pull request or merge request you have made on a Sugar or Sugar activity bug. It's normal to need assistance with this, so please visit our IRC channel, #sugar on irc.freenode.net, and ask for help.
