The good news is Sugar on a Stick is being successfully used in Schools around the world now!  Based on these experiences this is a list of some of the known challenges that people may face piloting Sugar on a Stick right now.  September is start of school in the US, so we expect to see an increase in teachers trying Sugar. We want to be ready with suggestions and work arounds as people face these challenges.

Red Hat - http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448030 -  RFE: create a bootable Live USB stick from the running livecd, also Sugar Labs Ticket {{Bug|74}}.

| fix blockers for release || 2009-04-08 || most important point, check rawhide, as it progresses towards beta
+
''Use Case''
|-
+
A teacher should be able to create a USB stick, add activities, add some content, change the language, change the jabber server etc. Then create new sticks that reflect these changes but do not copy the name, color or collaboration key.
| update remaining RPMs || 2009-04-08 || good progress done so far
+
 
|-
+
It would be great if the teacher could use an inexpensive USB hub to burn more then one stick at a time.

===Backup and recovery===

+
 
 +
Ham and Dave from Solution Grove are making progress on this.  You can track progress on ticket {{bug|916}}
 +
 
 +
===Role of the XS in SoaS deployments===
 +
What is a reasonable expectation for the role of the XS in Sugar on a Stick deployments in the next 6 months?
 +
===Collaboration is unreliable and thus frustrating===
 +
Its working fairly well in the wired network at the GPA lab, but no other use case seem to work reliably.  We need to expand the Poets Guide to [[Collaboration]] to give people hints on how to set up a scenario that will work for them.
 +
 
 +
===Using a CD helper===
 +
Using a CD helper takes a lot of prep time before and after class.
 +
 
 +
A floppy helper would reduce it.  A VM solution might also reduce it.  A network boot helper would also reduce it, for PCs that support a network boot.
