I strongly encourage the Sugar team to consider rethinking the Sugar UI from the ground up for touch. The simple port is likely to yield a very unsatisfactory experience; fat fingers are just not precise pointing devices, and a lot of gestures which seem intuitive for a mouse don't really work

Hi Tim, As soon as I heard that OLPC was moving to ARM, I winced slightly. This is going to make life much more difficult, because of our longstanding Linux, Python and recent GNOME heritage. What is Sugar Labs' role with the XO-3+? I don't understand -- the XO-3 (and XO-1.5)

After spending some time with touch based devices, I have to agree with Scott. Yes, you can bolt on support for single touch to many activities, but doing a good job of supporting multitouch is typically a complete UI redesign. We are trying to get an accelerometer into the design as well as

Hi, Linux has been running well on ARM for a long long time. Yeah. In specific, today I got Sugar running on the ARM SoC we'll be using for XO-1.75 and XO-3, and it didn't require any porting at all. It would have happened yesterday, but I had to work out how to get past the Sugar
