'''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.'''<br />

My project is Bulletin-Board which consists of a persistant clipboard and a chat overlay onto any shared activity. It will make learning with sugar activities more interactive and social. Using this tool, people working on same projects will be able to collaborate and share multiple resources and tools which will not only increase the productivity but will also make working more interactive and fun.
'''Walter Bender''': Learning to collaborate is an important skill not often taught in school.
And as a japanese proverb says: ''None of us is smarter than all of us.''<br />
Sugar has a collaboration model, but it is restricted to individual activities.
Real collaboration is on a project level: adding the bulletin board feature will enable groups of learners
to work together on a project, a major advancement and within keeping with the Sugar pedagogical model.
