We had a great year. All 5 of our students were successful, and several of them made really important improvements to Sugar. Here's the results: | |||

(other projects: you can add your summary here, or, preferably, transclude as I have done above.) | |||
== Previous Introduction == | |||
The purpose of this page (was) to coordinate a Sugar Labs Summer of Code effort. | |||
=== What (made) a good project === | |||
Our focus is on '''collaboration''' and '''community''' for the summer 2009 round of projects, though we'll also consider thoughtful proposals that lie outside these two areas and can make a strong case for how they would support the Sugar Labs [[Sugar_Labs|mission]]. | Our focus is on '''collaboration''' and '''community''' for the summer 2009 round of projects, though we'll also consider thoughtful proposals that lie outside these two areas and can make a strong case for how they would support the Sugar Labs [[Sugar_Labs|mission]]. | ||

This refers to API or activity work that makes [[olpc:Activity_sharing | collaboration]] "work better." A good metric for "works better" is to ask the following: "6 months after the summer ends, which projects are likely to have caused the highest increase in children-hours spent collaborating over Sugar Activities?" | This refers to API or activity work that makes [[olpc:Activity_sharing | collaboration]] "work better."

This refers to meta-work that makes it easy for Sugar to reach a broader [[Sugar Labs]]; this includes development tools (and accompanying implementation of processes and training), internationalization/localization, accessibility, infrastructure-building, and porting Sugar to other platforms. | This refers to meta-work that makes it easy for Sugar to reach a broader [[Sugar Labs]]; this includes development tools (and accompanying implementation of processes and training), internationalization/localization, accessibility, infrastructure-building, and porting Sugar to other platforms. | ||
