Teacher. I want to reproduce something like I did [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5202122558113609861&ei=vHQlSpmEE4GyqAOEmMXjBQ&q=LTSP here].

I am a teacher that believes most schools are teaching 19th century skills in a 21st century world.Sugar, and similar projects can help reverse that sorry state of affairs.

Ck out the project here: http://www.sugarlabs.org/
 +
Sugar project has great promise in helping build schools where students are evaluated on performance rather than testing.

=ongoing issues=
 +
 
 +
==general==
 +
*sometimes after installing a new .xo users will not see it in the 'ring'
 +
**fix is to restart Sugar... :(
 +
*users are not notified of new .xo versions
 +
*no easy way to report a bug as anonymous
 +
**In fact, it takes 16 clicks(knowing what you are doing!) to post a bug to the tracker
 +
*arrow keys and delete key in emulator do not work in (many,Write) activity
 +
*NO OBVIOUS save/commit button or hot key (UI makes no change to indicate save has happened)
 +
*no mouse control or button to activate frames or home view (ctrl +shift doesn't allow for use of Sugar hot keys)
 +
*ctrl + shift in emulator is a real pain
 +
*-no indication in the UI that a save has taken place
 +
*-copy and paste out of the emulator does not work
 +
*-can't name chats
 +
 
 +
==sharing==
 +
*-no indication in the UI to let me know if someone is sharing/editing with me (?)
 +
**I want to find a way to 'play' with others in the neighborhood
 +
*-announcements to neighborhood to indicate 'let's play/work together'
 +
*-control over edits to shared docs?
 +
*my shared documents are not 'connected to me' in the neighborhood view
 +
===wish===
 +
*That every open source developer make more screencasts
 +
*Something like http://www.clubpenguin.com/ for sharing learning activities where kids could play each other's games, interact, code... :)
 +
*list of public or portal jabber sites that are using Sugar for collaboration among schools...
 +
 
 +
==activities==
 +
===write===
 +
*new icons don't say much about their functionality
 +
===labyrinth===
 +
*re name to 'map my ideas'?
 +
*linking is awkward
 +
*save save as image? how?where?
 +

 +
===Speak===
 +
*No easy way to edit robot text or speech
 +
===Turtle ARt===
