Yes absolutely! I'd like to see these role descriptions (and perhaps main names) soften somewhat and be more inclusive of education/teacher/ student types**. I see the current 6 roles less as square pigeon-holes to fit into, more as button badges to wear (I'm guessing I have about 3 on just now). If improving the descriptions/names is not enough, then I'll be happy to create a role icon for a teacher/student/ educator pigeon-hole. **teachers, students, and educators should be encouraged in get involved in all aspects of Sugar Labs – though not try to take on all aspects at the same time ;-) Regards, --Gary > What plans does Sugar Labs have with respecto to working with > teachers, not only hearing what they have to say but incorporating > them in the design and development teams? > > Regards, > > Gabriel > > > 2009/1/18 Gary C Martin <[email protected]>: >> On 18 Jan 2009, at 02:22, Bernie Innocenti wrote: >> >>> Gary, >>> >>> your work on http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/GettingInvolved is >>> TOTALLY AWESOME! >>> >>> Thank you very much for taking care of it. >> >> Thanks Bernie, glad you liked it! >> >> The example role texts still in need of some additional edits (more >> Sugar, teacher, education, student targeted language I think).
