Walter's Community Newsletter is not enough in part because I get almost zero contribution from the community. To make it more than just my take on what is happening the world of Sugar, I need the community's collective input. I should be spending more time editing your thoughts than constructing my own if the Sugar Digest is going to fulfill this broader goal.

It is not something we can leave to chance--it has to be someone's explicit responsibility and there has to be a sufficient motivation to participate. I believe that the "incoming tide will raise all of the ships" but we need some structure to get things moving. -walter > > -- > «Sugar Labs is anyone who participates in improving and using Sugar. > What Sugar Labs does is determined by the participants.» - David > Farning > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
