'''Customize your own remix of Sugar on a Stick.''' You'll notice that | '''Customize your own remix of Sugar on a Stick.''' You'll notice that v3 Mirabelle has a smaller Activity selection than its predecessors, Blueberry and Strawberry. We realized we'll never be able to create an Activity selection suitable for all deployments - instead, we've chosen to include and support a core set of basic, teacher-tested Activities in the default image, and invite deployments to use this as a base on which to build a customized Activity selection for their classrooms. Instructions on how to do this are available at http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/docs/customization-guide/. A quick, but less pristine, method of build customization is available at [[Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone]]. | ||
