Hi… Last year at SCaLE George Hunt helped me get Sugar running on my RPi. Because our booth was so busy, it took parts of both Saturday and Sunday to get it going. I then tried it when I got home and found that it was prone to stalls. Of course, this was back in late February and there may have

[IAEP] Android/Sugar Outside The Box?

Hi…. I have been wondering if we could think outside the box to solve the problem of getting Sugar to run on Android devices. Here is what I have in mind, a combination of two things… 1) An Android compatible app that gets installed on the device. It presents a Sugar user interface on the

Hi... I have also been waiting patiently (well, not really very patiently) for some news about Sugar coming to Android. So far, I have heard nothing new. So I guess it isn't too late to throw my educator's opinion into the mix...One of the things that makes Sugar the ideal learning platform for
