# develop the social structures to best deploy this new, on-line, off-line, resumable, collaborative technical capability within and between the communities where learning occurs.

Thus, '''[[wikipedia:Linux distribution|distribution]]''' no longer just means ''~~get~~ the software onto an end user's computer'', where it can be stably configured for a single hardware environment. The installation must be ready to be picked up and moved to another, wholly different environment. This goal presents many technical challenges that are new, or made more significant ~~by the goal's importance~~ to the project~~'s essence~~.

This goal presents many technical challenges that are new, or made more significant because portability and resumability are essential to the project.

Developing the social mechanisms to imagine, plan, and deploy this leap in technology is also at the core of the project. We must take existing community resources, often old and institutionalized, and reconstruct them around the movements of the learners and their collaborators. Just as the human brain grows and develops in a social context, the Sugar Learning Platform aims to offer a constantly accessible, electronic, ~~supplementary~~ companion set of tools for learning, and ultimately, growing our capabilities in human society.
