This work was initially started by an International Research and Development Team affiliated with Sugar Labs Perú as part of the Malla Project initiative in order to attend the needs identified during field work on Perú from 2007 to date.  


== Summary ==
== Summary ==


These are the major goals of Sugar Network:
Sugar Network is a content sharing and social activity, around this content, system for Sugar Learning Environment.
 
* Sharing different kinds of content within the Sugar community, e.g., Sugar Activities, artifacts created by Sugar Activities, books, etc. for friends, a class, parents, teachers, or Sugar Learners anywhere.
* Productive interaction between content creators and users.
* Online + offline access to the content for all Sugar Network participants.
* Support for localized and sustainable *collaborative activities*<!-- does "activities" mean sugar activities or activity in general? ~~~~ -->.


For a more detailed description, see these references:
The system is intended to be a share point for various kinds of content within the Sugar community, e.g., friends, a class, parents, teachers, content authors, supporters, or, Sugar Learners in general. Sugar Network participants might be regular Internet users, students connected to a school server, or, even be in regions without any network connectivity except the [[wikipedia:Sneakernet|Sneakernet]].


* [http://pe.sugarlabs.org/go/Red_Az%C3%BAcar Red Azúcar] - The first client of Sugar Network.
The content itself might be Sugar Activities, artifacts created by Sugar Activities, books, articles, etc. Sugar Network provides a way for content creators how to share their work, and, a way for all other people how to use shared content as easy as possible. Sugar Network's social activity features should make this process smoother by providing functionality like getting feedback, issue reports, usage statistics, etc.

Sugar Network is a part of the [[Harmonic Distribution]] effort and also one of the main components of the [http://pe.sugarlabs.org/go/Proyecto_Piloto_Hexoquinasa Hexoquinasa Pilot Project].
This work was initially started as an international research project within the Sugar Labs Perú in order to attend the needs identified during field work on Perú from 2007 to date.

=== On desktop ===
 
Sugar Network clients can be used from local applications. Local applications have extra features, such as launching software by one click, or, seamless Journal integration. There are several distribution options:
 
* Install Sugar from the [[Platform_Team/Sweets_Distribution/0.94:SugarNetwork|0.94:SugarNetwork]] repository in [[Sweets Distribution]] and [[Platform_Team/Sweets_Distribution/0.94:SugarNetwork#Sugar_Network_integration|enable]] Sugar Network integration in the Sugar Shell;
* On XO laptops, use [[Deployment_Platform/XO_reference_distribution#Try_reference_implementation|one of the reference images]] (note that images might be outdated, to make them up-to-date, upgrade system packages right after flashing). Or, try deployment [http://pe.sugarlabs.org/go/Proyecto_Piloto_Hexoquinasa/Instalar XO images] from downstream [http://pe.sugarlabs.org/go/Proyecto_Piloto_Hexoquinasa Hexoquinasa] project;
* Or, on existing Sugar installation, install [[Activities/Sugar_Network|Sugar Network activity]].
