All the hardcore programmers are working to make Sugar run on top of Linux, while others are working to make sure that Fedora can natively boot and run the XO laptop. Lots of QA work happening in there. But where are the end-users doing QA for Sugar, in the same way other desktop environments communities do?

Sugar Kids QA Team is the solution. The Sugar Kids QA Team goals are:

  • Test Sugar activities early and often
  • Provide feedback directly to the Sugar development team, usually through a parent or teacher coordinator
  • Create a repeatable process for kids QA'ing Sugar
  • Document and publicize the process.
