== About Sugar ==

+

Sugar is a different desktop environment to what is normally used in Windows, OS X or other Linux distributions. It is conceived as a tool to allow kids to learn interactively. The first thing that a child sees, therefore, is not a hard disk or a trash can — it’s the other kids in the “neighborhood.” Programs and Applications are called Activities, many of which allow for collaboration between users who are connected to each other by Wifi or through a Jabber network. Sugar developers are encouraged to write activities with collaborative elements that are automatically enabled.

+

Sugar is developed in Python and runs on Linux Kernel 2.6.22 and the [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora 7] base environment.

~~We will provide information to help new users run Sugar and take advantage of its tools and functionality, written in plain English.~~
