  • SocialCalc activity doesn't work (and you can't download)
  • Maps activity doesn't work (doesn't work and you cannot download it)

  • The Flash? activity requires too much time and not always the installation is successful and you have to do it many times to get it right.
  • Sometimes the cursor is unresponsive after flashing
  • Technical problems that the machine presents... they deliver the laptop but it takes too long before they get it back.
  • Technical service will be done after June
  • The activity that allows you to download videos and watch them later doesn't work

  • Etoys projects don't download from squeakland.org

Bug reports on the Olidata (JumPC) build

  • We don't know what Sugar version we're using
  • We can't read PDF files
  • It's really hard to connect to Internet, the instructions that we got from portalceibal don't work
  • We cannot download Browse 108 version

Various complaints

  • Sugar has many problems
  • It doesn't allow to work fluently
  • Its troublesome
  • It's unfinished
  • The performance of Sugar is ???
  • The home material got lost because the journal didn't save it
  • TuxPaint, PhotoToon, Firefox, Audacity... don't save to journal!
  • Several activities don't have writing permissions, you need an expert to save a file. The procedure to save it would be through command line (not always successful)
  • Teachers are opposed to the XO
  • Sugar is not Free Software because of the blocking system?
  • The blocking system makes the XO being delivered in Urugugay not

fulfill the liberties of Free Software

  • Some things that are considered defects of Sugar are defects of the deployment in Plan Ceibal
  • The security system of the XO causes regressions in Sugar
  • There are huge efforts, but insufficient to sugarize activities...
  • We would like to get involved in sugarizing more activities
  • In general, the mesh network sucks (sit). It interferes with collaboration more than it helps.
  • We need a technical solution on the mesh because it's a very powerful resource
  • Some activities don't work well, for example eToys.
  • The activities are unstable when we're trying to do complicated things
  • Sharing objects can lead EToys to present a message that recommends quitting
  • Maybe it's me, but the machine perhaps is tired and gives up on me :-)
  • I work with eToys/Scratch in Windows and it works well...
  • Version 1.4 of Scratch saves to the journal finally
  • The Record activity should allow modifying the time of recording, because it creates huge files
  • We'd like to add some things, such as video editing... is this related to permissions?!?
  • Teachers want the mesh to work so they could do more collaborative work
