In many ways this aims '''beyond Sugar as a purpose in itself''', to something like '''seeing Sugar as a tool for a purpose'''.

I am not much of a programmer, I sincerely am in awe at those who can manage the nitty gritty of coding and putting things together.  I barely have found some success in working communication with the Sur list, OLPC News, and such fori.  I've been a classroom teacher over 15 years, in Uruguay, the US. This to say that I just want to help things along, with feet on the ground - I do not have all the solutions, alas.  This is a team effort thing, and the team needs to be wider.
