	'''Is there anything else you should have asked me or anything else that you should know that might make you like me or my project more?'''		'''Is there anything else you should have asked me or anything else that you should know that might make you like me or my project more?'''

			Sometimes, I think what if I would have got the access of something like sugar in my childhood days. I can clearly see myself stuck with my xo machine playing with turtle and chatting with my friend abroad. I would have loved those moments. We would have cooler and smarter kids.

			If not me, then why not the coming generation? This is the source of an enormous motivation for me to work for the development of this organisation. This project for me will always be driven by the motivation and the field of work ( which is my newly-found love : websockets. ). Hence, It will be completed with a lot of dedication and passion if given a chance.

This project is all about redesigning the collaboration framework for javascript environment using '''implementations of websocket in node.js'''. As of now, Sugar has the collaboration mechanism for python-based activities(for python environment). But, the web activities are still devoid of it.

	This collaboration framework will enable a lot of collaborative ~~application~~ on the sugar platform in javascript environment like ~~XMPP IM Chat Service,~~ Collaborative File Editing, Collaborative ~~Turtleblocks~~,File Sharing and what not. The functionality of the collaboration framework will be similar to that in python environment but implementation varies greatly to enhance the scalability and efficiency. This enhancement is clearly visible with the approach of using websockets. It will decrease the use of bandwidth greatly(no need to include HTTP Headers). At the same time, polling will also be ruled out from the scenario making the io independent and clutter-free.

			Better ideas come to me while working; hence in my timeline I have stated my discussions with my mentor many times. This will help me better understanding and might add some new features to the program. I also intend to continuously assess the system based on continuous user based tests on the interface. I also intend to take continuous feedback on my progress from the community. I intend to keep enough time to assess the feedback and make further changes thus, ensuring the completeness of the system.
