Dan: "And how about some heuristic evaluations from this community?"
The impression I get from the reviews you quoted is that on a scale of DOS to OS X, Sugar is a missed opportunity. I would say, wrong scale, it cant be measured by conventional standards. Of course there is no such thing as a perfect design but unless the IxDA sponsors some Ethnographic research in the depths of the Amazon I Think its a fools errand to judge the endeavor by western standards. If anything we should define a new set of heuristics as I'm having a lot of trouble applying any of 10 principles to the context of a dirt floor classroom of 50 kids, 1 teacher, where the only other piece of technology is a light switch (at best) http://www.useit.com/papers/heuristic/heuristic_list.html . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
