It is conceived as a platform upon which children learn with Sugar [[Activities]]. The platform provides mechanisms for [[Collaboration|collaboration]], [[Activities/Portfolio|reflection]], and [[View Source|exploration]]. Sugar Activities cover a broad range of applications: browsing, drawing, composing, writing, programming, etc. − − The Sugar desktop has multiple full-screen views: a Home view from which Activities are launched; a Neighborhood view where learners can connect to each other through a [[olpc:Community Jabber Servers | Jabber network]]; a Journal view, which can be used as a ''lab notebook''; and the Activity view, where Sugar Activities are run. − − Sugar Activities have no Save menu: everything is saved automatically. While the interface uses very little text, additional information is revealed when the user hovers over icons. − − Sugar is Free Software. It is developed in [[wikipedia:Python_%28programming_language%29|Python]] and runs on a [[wikipedia:Linux|GNU/Linux]] [[wikipedia:Kernel_%28computer_science%29|Kernel]], originally from the [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Project], and now from a [[Supported systems|variety]] of GNU/Linux distributions. − − For an overview of the components composing a Sugar system see the [[Sugar System Stack]]. − − ==Getting Sugar== − − If this is going to be your first attempt at running sugar, you could take the advice ''buy rather than build''. For purchase information for Sugar pre-installed on a bootable USB flash drive, see [[Sugar Creation Kit#Commercial source of SoaS-loaded media]]. − − For installing Sugar on your computer or a flash drive, see [[Downloads]]. − − For more technical information, please see the [[Supported systems]] page for a list of the different ways that Sugar may be run on a computer. − − ===Release notes=== − − Release notes for '''Sugar {{Current Stable Release}}''' are available [[{{Current Stable Release}}/Notes|here]]. − − {{Template:Platform Cycle Linkbar}} − − − ===Other resources=== − What is required here is a 3 line paragraph helping to orientate a new user to the wiki, − and link to the areas he/she might most need. − − Other resources are listed on the [[Deployment Team/Resources]] page. − Is this the most useful link? − The Sugar Lab '''Teams''' are listed on the wiki sidebar. − − <div style="border-top:1px solid #888888; border-bottom:1px solid #888888; margin:0px;"> − {| width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" − |- − |width=25% align=left bgcolor=#C3D9FF| − |width=50% align=center bgcolor=#C3D9FF|'''[[User:inkyfingers/Getting_Started(0)|Getting Started]]''' − |width=25% align=right bgcolor=#C3D9FF| '''[[User:inkyfingers/Getting_Started(1)|Getting Started - Explore]]''' → − |} − </div> − − [[Category:Help]] − [[Category:HowTo]] − [[Category:Getting started]]
