I respect the fact how open-source allows people all around to help projects that matter to them.

I get ecstatic when I see my projects taking shape and when they are finally done. It is for that feeling that I want to work for SugarLabs for the upcoming summers. − − Line 223:

==The community==
===Successful completion===
When an OS level application is ported onto web, it becomes much easier to access it. All that is needed is a browser and internet. Moon, Sugar and Fototoon are activities that nurture curiosity and creativity. By making these webapps, I can introduce larger number of children to these technologies.
===Getting stuck===
If I do get stuck, there are a few things that I can do:
* Drop a mail to the mentors.
* If I am unable to reach them, I can ask other community developers for help in the IRC and the mailing list
* Meanwhile, internet (google, stackoverflow, personal blogs etc) are all at my disposal
* As a last resort, I will reach out to my college friends who can help me.
* On the off chance that all my attempts fail, I will move on to a different part of the project - one that is not affected by the problem.
===Keeping informed===
* A follow up page on the wiki, containing progress in great detail.
* Online demos of the current status
* Maintain a ToDo file in the github repository
* Post (frequently) in the mailing list, asking for feedback.
