[http://wiki.laptop.org/ wiki.laptop.org] contains a lot of information about Sugar that is outdated, while more up-to-date and more complete pages on the same topic can often be found on this wiki (the Sugar Labs one). Please consider reviewing those old pages and either replacing them by links to the appropriate Sugar Labs wiki pages (preferred) or updating them (with the risk of them getting out of sync again).

====Contribute to a wishlist====

*A good starting point are the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Installing_Sugar "Installing Sugar" pages]. Those often recommend using an "emulated XO" or running sugar-jhbuild. But as [[Downloads]] shows, the recommended ways to get Sugar (for non-developers) is to either burn [[Sugar on a Stick]] or install distribution packages.

[http://wiki.laptop.org/ wiki.laptop.org] contains a lot of information about Sugar that is outdated, while more up-to-date and more complete pages on the same topic can often be found on this wiki (the Sugar Labs one). Consider reviewing those old pages and either replacing them by links to the appropriate Sugar Labs wiki pages (preferred) or updating them (with the risk of them getting out of sync again).  This is complicated by the need to obtain permission to edit the OLPC wiki.  In the meantime, suggested changes can be submitted to the http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/Devel mailing list.
