* ''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.''

** Gabriel: The completion of this project will be, in my opinion, extremely beneficial for the community since Etoys, currently one of Sugar’s main activities, will be closer to a ‘ready to use’ state on the newer devices. Also, the presence of Etoys in this kind of technology is only adequate considering the current tendency to use tablets and other consumer products of the kind for educational experiences, and would benefit multiple institutions. Should the project succeed, students will be able to make use of the application for improving their computer science related skills, which matches Sugar Labs vision of providing ‘every child with equal opportunity for a quality education’.

** Kamaljeet Kaur: Touch-screen, technology which is increasingly becoming the natural choice for interfacing for users these days, will have a huge impact on community's UX. As more users are using touch-screen technologies and are already familiar with it, they will find it easy to learn more with sugar on their touch devices. The most importantly being students who are able to use touch screens easily will need lesser effort to use but can concentrate on learning. If this project is completed, Sugar can target even more number of users and devices with an improved touch experience.
