Design and Develop GUI components that can help Sugar to reflect user's social interactions from external platforms. A perfect target can be the Group-View that shows user's friends and their shared activities [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/Zoom_Metaphor#Groups], but it _could_ also show social information about these friends, IE social networks or sharing platforms publications. This would also give this zoom-level added value.

Community members are already working on the backend component to support this feature [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2013-March/042055.html]. This is also a great opportunity to complement other GSoC-2013 proposals.

Student: Erik Price
This project aims to create a server/client setup to establish a consistent way of translating arbitrary text using several different machine translation backends. It provides a single interface to many different translation services, simplifying the process of adding reliable machine translation to Sugar activities.
