Over the last couple of weeks we have been talking about how to grow Sugar Labs.
Without looking at specific solutions, I would like to think about
framing Sugar Labs growth in three directions:
1. Improve and stabilize the learning platform.
2. Grow towards the student.

Hi,
we have certain relationships with other software projects with
similar goals to us and the people working there may be asking
themselves why their work isn't discussed more often in our fora,

Aleksey Lim's Library Activity supports organizing books that are
stored in the Journal. It is supposed to eventually work on .82 but
for now only works on .84. I tried it and it does what Calibre does

Hi all,
