sugar is feature-rich and functionality-rich, but access to those features and functions is currently via a myriad of cryptic icons.

another comment received: doors and wheels and xo as a cursor seems retrogressive, hiding functionality to simplify user choices, and making them harder to discover.

my response: not hiding functionality, but aiming to provide obvious paths to activities instead of trying to show everything at once on one screen. i will flesh out my concept idea later on --[[User:David Brown|David Brown]] 02:31, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

imagine opening an xo for the very first time:
i would like it to audibly say "Hello" in a language of my choice - i would like to be able to choose that language on the startup screen
- please add your own idea here -
what would you like to do with a little magic box called an xo?:
- play a game
- learn something
- make something
- meet friends
- find new friends
- see what other people are doing
- what else?
