## Convenient and unified access to various Sugar, and, education in general, content. Such as Sugar Activities, content created by Sugar Activities, documentation and educational materials, etc.
## Provide this access (1.1), but with different latencies, on several [[Wikipedia:Computer_network|Network]] levels, i.e., [[Wikipedia:Online|online]] access to the Internet, access to the school network with possible (but not mandatory) access to the Internet, [[Wikipedia:Offline|offline]] case when Sugar Network participant has only his computer.
## Supplement this access (1.1) on all levels (1.2) with [[Wikipedia:Social_network|social network]] features when Sugar Network participants can share their questions, ideas, problems and opinions withing the Sugar Network.
## Using social functionality (1.3) and integrated to the Sugar Network automatic bug report functionality, it will be possible to provide technical support, e.g., from Sugar Activity authors or from Sugar deployment personal.
## The last, but not the least. The entire Sugar Network should be well integrated to the educational process, e.g., support different scope workflows, such as school, class time, personal home work.
# ''How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?''
# ''What's new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?''
# ''Who cares?''
# ''If you're successful, what difference will it make?''
# ''What are the risks and the payoffs?''
# ''How much will it cost?''
# ''How long will it take?''
# ''What are the midterm and final "exams" to check for success?''
# ''What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.''
