Sorry, I certainly didn't mean to reopen this old schism. I just meant to suggest that SugarLabs move a bit towards internalizing touchscreen devices as part of the "support for mobile" which was in the 2010 goals. When the year-end 2010 goal assessment is written, of course it's entirely appropriate to include Sayamindu's onscreen keyboard (for example) as part of SugarLabs progress towards supporting "mobile devices" -- especially if that support makes it into (say) SoaS and the other SugarLabs projects. OLPC developers' work is only separate if SugarLabs sees it as not advancing the SugarLabs mission. I'm suggesting that SugarLabs fully embrace touchscreens as part of its "mobile device" mission (and 2010 goals), not suggesting that this is somehow something that "they" are doing that "we" should be doing, or some such. This is just a friendly discussion of goals & progress towards them, not a who-did-what fight. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
