Gary C. Martin made an excellent observation: if we have "Activities" instead of "applications", shouldn't we have "Doers" instead of "users"?
I fully agree we shouldn't have "users" of Sugar Activities. I like "Doers", but I think "Learners" may roll off the tongue more easily. Suggestions please. On a related subject: I want feedback from our Learners (Doers) using the XO-1. We've discussed this before, but following SugarCamp where we concluded with a round-robin of our 3-/3+ takeaways (what didn't work, what worked) I had an idea watching a survivor show on television... to set up a rope bridge, the hikers threw a small wire across the rapids, attached to a thicker rope which they then used to make a bridge with two other ropes. So my idea is to start with a two-line survey of our Learners around the world: * What do you not like about Sugar? * What do you like about Sugar? Short, simple, to the point... easy to translate... a light payload for the difficult task of distributing/receiving a survey :-) Can we start with this "wire", and work our way up to a "bridge"? Could we ask the OLPC Corps Africa people for help, in parallel with their formal survey? I have heard they will have one, but I have no info about it. ideas please thanks Sean _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
