:Social Help doesn't have a striking, absolutely vital impact on Sugar Labs community. Nevertheless this small feature will open the borders of communication for so many users on some many topics. Social Help shows a straight-forward way where to ask a question or to share your knowledge. By completing this project, Sugar Labs community will get even closer to its users through IRC and forums, which subsequently leads to a better understanding of what it's users are expecting.

In the mid-1970s Alan Kay predicted that, among other things, computers would enhance interpersonal communication. While there remain a few skeptics, it is pretty obvious he was spot on in his prediction. People are inherently social beings and the computer gives us opportunity to exercise that aspect of our nature. Amplifying the social aspects of Sugar for our users is a great way to share best practice, provide support, and mostly have fun while learning. Social Sugar is critical to our future as a community and as a project. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 18:23, 19 March 2014 (EDT)

:Research or refocus. Those are the 2 strategies that always work for me. If it is a bug, then there must be a way to solve it. Get a step back and read some documentation - maybe I have missed something important. If the issue involves a collaborative decision and the presence of the mentor is absolutely critical, then I can refocus, checkout to a new topic branch and start doing other tasks.
