Re: [sugar] Give a Laptop, Change the World : G1G1 2008
Not yet... if someone wants to make a pdf from that page, this would rock. Something to discuss on Friday. As for window manager v. learning platform... an updated [[Glossary]] isn't a bad idea.

I think we should be able to find a better term than window manager, Matchbox is the window manager used in 8.2 and it hasn't been modified by OLPC.

Re: [sugar] Give a Laptop, Change the World : G1G1 2008
I prefer the Sugar learning platform And my laundress prefers fabric revitalization consultant. Sugar isn't about learning. Sugar is a user interface. It draws icons and decorations on the screen, starts and stops programs, and lets you turn control knobs. The things Sugar competes with aren't learning platforms, they're user interfaces, like Gnome or Hildon. John ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
