== Summary ==
 +
 
 +
The Sugar Network is an initiative to try to leverage collaborative, contributing, and learning behaviour in Sugar Learning Platform. It is started as the only possible option for connectivity-less Sugar deployments (but it is also being targeted to the Internet driven environments) and Peru in particular.
 +
 
 +
The intentions might be explained by the [[Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Architecture#Needs|Needs]] that Sugar Network is trying to solve.
 +
 
 +
This initiative is tailored by the following decisions:
 +
 
 +
* Have a real need to support Internet-less environments (but not only);
 +
* The list of provided services should cover the full circle of collaboration behaviour within the Sugar community to make Sugar Network the central place for collaboration;
 +
* Not trying to reinvent the Internet by duplicating all services available there making them off-line.
 +
* The list of provided services should be tough to make the Sugar Network useful also in on-line;
 +
* Support decentralized collaboration model to stimulate direct contacts, e.g., between software creators and users;
 +
* Stimulate doing workflow.
