Excerpts from Walter Bender's message of Tue Sep 14 18:30:54 +0200 2010:

 I've been doing some work on the Get Sugar landing page in the wiki,
 which has been the source of some confusion amongst our potential user
 community. My proposed modifications (See
 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter/Get_Sugar) are an attempt to
 streamline and consolidate the instructions for first-time users.

I'm missing the mention of distro packages. For existing Linux users,
this is the easiest way to run Sugar.

I assume (for the moment) that the instructions for individual distros
are to be found on the separate pages dedicated to the distros. I
refer developers to those pages, but I should also refer GNU/Linux
users to those pages.

thanks for the heads up.

I actually thought the same thing. I think this should be more prominent 
in the page that you can just install the distro packages. At the moment 
it rather reads like this is only meant for developers.

Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback on the landing page for Get Sugar.

I've tried to incorporate your various suggestions.

* I'm still working on cleaning up the Install a GNU/Linux package
section (See 
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter/Get_Sugar#Do_you_use_a_GNU.2FLinux_distro.3F).
* I tried putting together SoaS instructions for 64-bit Macs (See
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter/Get_Sugar#Apple_OSX). If
there is someone with experience in this area, I could use some help.

Please keep the feedback coming.

Regards.
