There has been some mention of a new community initiative to carry on the development of Sugar. A number of community members have set up SugarLabs.org in order to further extend Sugar. Sugar Labs will focus on providing a software ecosystem that enhances learning on the XO laptop as well as other laptops distributed by other companies, such as the ASUS Eee PC. Consistent with the OLPC mission to provide opportunities for learning (as just outlined by Nicholas in is posting to this list), an independent Sugar Labs Foundation can deliver learning software to other hardware vendors and, consequently, reach more children.
We have every expectation of a positive, cooperative relationship with OLPC and we expect to form additional relationships with other laptop distributors. See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Announcing_SugarLabs for more details. -walter 2008/5/15 Seth Woodworth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >> devil's advocate: how would someone on the outside (of either >> OLPC, or sugarlabs) know that that is the case? all that has >> happened (from the public view of things) is that this new wiki >> has sprung up, claiming essentially that "this is where sugar >> lives". there's been no "announcement" (that i've seen), and no >> corresponding announcement from OLPC, so an observer is sort of >> left to wonder what's going on. > > The wiki's barely up.
