This work was initially started by the Peru Local Lab to address the needs identified during field work on Perú from 2007 to date.

• 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*.
