 I'm not sure to fully understand your question. Sugar can run of
 multiple platforms, I wouldn't consider any of them like official,
 but clearly OLPC is by far the most important of them at the moment.
 
Good morning Mikus;)

Thanks for you help last week.  If, by reference platform, you are
referring to a specific distribution, release, and packages set for
Sugar development.  Then, no, there is no reference platform.

One of our goals is to be distribution agnostic.  From a development
point of view this allows us to create an abstraction barrier between
Sugar and the platform underneath it.

From a social point of view we avoid the 'distro wars.'  We can focus on
being the best learning platform.  The system integrators and deployers
can chose us or not chose us, based on their current market needs.

Thanks

[sugar] Reference Platform for Sugar ?

2008-08-31 Thread Mikus Grinbergs
With Sugar releases being separate from OLPC releases, is there 
an 'Official Platform' on which to validate that everything works?

[What led me to this question was that to me there appears to be an 
Activity that depends on services not yet released in an OLPC build. 
So what platform SHOULD the working of that Activity be tested on ?]

A Sugar service? Or a system library/service? If you point out the
activity and the service you are talking about it might be easier to
give a good answer.

Thanks,
