I'd actually like to avoid the technical parts as much as possible (although
I often can't help but respond).
What I'm most interested in are the community aspects:
a) What is the vision for Sugar going forward? What types of devices? What
types of users?
b) How much energy/tolerance do people in the community have for "new
things"?
c) If a group goes off and tries something new, will it result in a painful
split in the community?
d) Is SugarLabs closely tied to the idea of "sugar as it is now", or do they
see themselves as part of a wide variety of sugar-like projects, with
more-or-less use of the legacy code?
e) What are the *essential* goals of Sugar/SugarLabs? (cjb made a good
start here!)
f) What does SugarLabs see as their most valuable products? Activities?
SoaS-type whole systems? Community? Lesson plans? Pedagogy? Support?
Obviously, every reader is going to have slightly different answers to those
questions, but through the multitude of voices a sense of the community
spirit can be gleaned.
