This is fantastic - well done!
I've been out of the OLPC/Sugar world for a while now, but just yesterday I
was extolling the virtues of Sugar at a meeting in the university where I
work. Our vice-chancellor has challenged us to come up with innovative
learning ideas, and I was using Sugar as an example of what can be achieved
through creative thinking. I'm going to point everyone to Sugarizer so that
they can try it out for themselves :)
Cheers,
Sridhar

Hi all,
I'm proud to announce the fourth version (0.4) of Sugarizer, a taste of
Sugar for any device.
http://sugarizer.org
To remind you, Sugarizer reproduce main features of Sugar in
HTML5/JavaScript. Sugarizer also expose these features to allow running in
a browser Sugar Web activities wrote for Sugar 0.100+.
Sugarizer is available from a browser or as an Android application.
New in this version:
- Three new activities:
- Tank Operation: a Tuxmath like activity, practice math facts in
an arcade game,
- TurtleJS: a TurtleArt like activity. A taste of TurtleArt for any
device !
- ChatPrototype: see below.
- Sugar compatibility: Sugarizer could now be used as a developer
platform for Sugar-Web activity. So, developers could now develop Sugar
activities only with a browser and a file editor. Resulting activities will
work without any change on Sugar 0.100+.
- Improve Journal view: rename, delete and popup menu.
- Server collaboration: Sugarizer Server now allow each user to
publish local journal content to the Server. Just go to the journal view
and access to your private or to the shared journal zone. Plus, if you keep
in mind your user id (in settings/server), you could use the same settings
(name, color, language, private storage) from different computers.
- Presence API prototype: Sugarizer include a first prototype of
Presence API and a Chat test activity. You could chat with all other users
on the same server.
- Server connectivity to Client: The Android Client has capacity to
connect to a Sugarizer Server. Just go to Server settings: check the
connected checkbox and set your user id. You've now capacity to start your
work on your PC then update it on your tablet !
- Improved Android experience: Lot of issues related to Android
environment has been solved.
- API to server features: all server features are exposed as REST/JSON
interfaces. So, developers could easily access to all server contents from
any client (including, why not, the real Sugar journal).
Hope you'll enjoy it and you could say: Yes, I want to Sugarize the
world.
Do not hesitate to fork and contribute.
Lionel.

prototype), Ignacio (Spanish translation) for their contribution to this
