| Before June 11 || Define the minimal set of abstractions to represent the mini-profiles inside sugar.
|-
|-
| Before May 27|| Discuss ideas and finalize project details. Understand how user profiles and group views work. Fix some sugar-love tickets.
| June 11 - June 17 || Design coherent GUI components to make these abstractions visible.
|-
|-
| May 27 - June 16 || Work on basic UI decisions, draw mockups, discuss with community how profiles should look.
| June 18 - June 22 || Identify users from external networks and match them with sugar users.
|-

|-
| June 30 - July 6 || Add backend for project sharing website. Integration into profiles and sharing projects from activities. If project sharing API is not ready, use FOSS backends for media sharing like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_MediaGoblin MediaGoblin].

''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.''

Sharing seamlessly from inside Sugar with other networks will increase collaboration. It will complement other projects like Project Sharing Website as well.
Social interaction is a key element in the learning process, therefore we should promote this. - [[Summer_of_Code/2013#Social_Sugar|tch]]

''Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?''

It would be great if we could set up a pilot deployment at [http://www.anushruti.in/ Anushruti], which is the first school for the deaf in India in an Hi-Tech Institute of National Importance. It is situated inside my college, IIT Roorkee, and I can help with setting up by coordinating with Sugar and the school, as our student group, Information Management Group, helped with their website design. Sugar's clean collaborative platform would really improve the learning environment there.

Try to solve the problem myself. If I am unable to and if it isn't urgent, I'll send an email and work on something else. If it is I'll try to get help from other people in the community on IRC or mailing list.
