Client application is local, for reasons:

* Originally, Sugar Network is being developed for deployments where teachers' XOs will be distributed servers, thus, it will be useful to delegate some of computing to students' XOs;

* Stimulate doing behaviour when it should be possible to create new client application or tweak existing on a client side;

* It is all time possible to create Web application on ~~the~~ server side.

Line 61:

The default client is implemented using Web technologies to:

* Using Web technologies might make client developing easier;

* Make it possible to reuse Sugar Network in any Web browser in any Desktop Environment, i.e., not only from Sugar Shell;

* ~~Using existing Web methods~~ might ~~make frontend developing~~ easier;

* It might be easier to find potential Sugar contributors within Web developers rather than developers who know GTK.

* Involve Web developers ~~to Sugar community;~~

It might sound a bit confusing to have local Web application, but this decision is based on:

* Local Web applications serve only one user and are much simpler than singular applications that are intended to serve ~~thousands of~~ users simultaneously;

* Local Web applications serve only one user and are much simpler than singular applications that are intended to serve multiple users simultaneously;

* ~~Having~~ simple and clean ~~designed~~ code, it will be ~~easy~~ for doers to learn, change, reimplement the ~~frontend~~.

* It might be useful to design simple and clean code using existing Web technics like MVC;

* Thus, it will be easier for doers to learn, change, reimplement the new clients.
