Dear Sugar Labs community members, You may be aware that Sugar Labs marketing people have worked these past few months with a team from the MIT Sloan MarketLab to analyze the effectiveness of our website, as perceived by members of the community. Many of you responded to their survey and some took time out for interviews. Your participation in this study is greatly appreciated.
The study is complete [1] and they have made specific recommendations, in particular how to better assist teachers in getting started with Sugar. As a result, with the assistance of a team from the Rochester Institute of Technology, we have begun work on a revamped website [2]. A key component will be a standardized navbar across our separate sites and sections. This is in its early stages, but now is the time to solicit your feedback and ideas, especially in light of the MarketLab findings. Please look over this document [3] prepared by Christian Marc Schmidt and the RIT students, Mike Devine and JT Mengel. Mike and JT will be asking for your input in the coming days; please cooperate with them and in particular help us find good visual content of Sugar in the field! We plan to go live in early May, in time for SugarCamp at the Uruguay Summit 2011 [4]. Many thanks in advance.
