#If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.

#*autorpmgen will enable students who doesn't have a xo lap to experience ALL the sugar activities which are currently available on their rpm based distro box. Further it will be beneficial to projects like Sugar on a Stick which is based on Fedora. SoaS will also include more and more sugar activities in future of course will be beneficial to students who even doesn't have a rpm based distro box. They can just plug their USB stick and get the full experience. Activities will be exposed to a more wide community of students, teachers and developers which in turn will result in more and more feedback and ultimately the activities will get better and better and will more suit the needs. That is we are reaching more students with better quality products.

It is great to see so many Sugar activities being packaged... certainly will make life easier for the maintainers and those pulling together distros. I question the assertion that this will help nonSugar users without an accompanying effort to add the glue to launch Sugar activities outside of Sugar. A number of activities, e.g., Turtle Art, support this, but it is atypical. Perhaps a modeule that can get distributed with the RPMs that detects whether or not the Sugar environment is available and added replacement methods in the case it is not? We need to think this through. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 11:41, 16 February 2012 (EST)

#*First of all I try myself and next I seek for help in other source such as mailing lists, irc (#sugar #fedora-devel on freenode) and past GSoCers of Sugar Labs. I firmly believe that always there will be some path where I can get the information I need.
