Hi again Gaurav! I suggest that those interested in this topic subscribe to this discussion thread on http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/marketing.
I couldn't wait to reference your diagram, so I loaded a copy at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:Social_Communication_System.jpg referenced at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Project_visualization and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Project_Visualization. I suggest we post the graphical tools and elements at the laptop.org wiki so we can take advantage of the wiki extensions there and deploy OLPC-related work there. The Sugar Labs wiki would be the place to continue the broader Sugar-related work. I've started an outline for contributors to start submitting ideas at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Project_Visualization. Note also the work of a team at San Francisco State University, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Information_Systems_Analysis_and_Design_Project, and http://n2.nabble.com/-Marketing--Information-flow-problem-tc2885268.html Thank you again for contributing!
