Talk:Sugar Labs

"explore, express, debug, critique" is a great set of four goals.

The four goals currently listed on this page are different -- indeed, they have almost no overlap. They are improving the simplicity of

sharing activities

installing activities

writing new activities,

being secure while using activities

This is compatible with a constellation of lightly-connected developers creating appliance-style activities, each a microcosm of its own, and passing them on to users who are expected to share them as is (or send patches to their owners).

It doesn't explicitly aim to support exploring (through active, permeating view-and-modify-source interfaces suitable for all learners), debugging (ditto, along with active debugger, logging, and visualization interfaces suitable for all learners), or critiquing (through any sort of shareable annotation or commentary).

I hope this is a matter of "what comes first, and what comes second" and not a shift in goals for Sugar as a meme and environment. +sj + 22:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
