We are currently working towards the first SoaS-2 release, with a hard launch date of April 10th, 2009 (we plan to premiere and distribute SoaS at [http://www.ncose.org/node/47 FOSSVT]). What this means is that the current snapshots are still unstable and in testing, and that if you download and try out this software, ''it might not work yet.'' Please download, test (see [[Smoke test]]), and give feedback (on sugar-devel@lists.sugarlab.org and [[Sugar on a Stick/GettingInvolved]]) – we need your help to make our launch date – please follow the instructions below (for SoaS-2) to download a copy!
