#* If, at this point, time should be left, I will continue to investigate on integrating upstream projects, such as [https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/ ABRT] into Sugar. Giving users a way of reporting crashes in Sugar automatically is another aspect, that will allow even less experienced students to contribute to the community by simply reporting their experiences with Sugar on a Stick.

#* Finally, working on a [http://packagekit.org/ PackageKit] interface to provide users with an actual upgrade path using the distribution's RPM packages would be a huge improvement, compared to requiring users to wait for the next release and start from scratch each time. This is a key part of Sugar on a Stick's way to become actually deployable in masses. However, since time is scarce, this aspect will only be tackled if the other ideas are completed early.
