Perhaps a section in Sugar Digest with links to highlights of what went on in deployments during the week? Wearing a deployer-hat I must confess that we could (Paraguayan Deployment Team) do a better job filing tickets, giving feedback, etc. Will try to keep discipline from now on :-) ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

From my end, I can offer extensive feedback on Sugar usage in Andalucian schools, when we ship our next release in September. As this is a pretty controlled environment, we should be able to get some automated statistics. I'd love to hear some ideas on this. What could we install on the client sugar sessions to track things... perhaps, programs being used, length of time used, internet connectivity or not, etc. What I'm saying is, we could build some kind of statistic tracking into the computers as long as its not efficiency damaging or privacy violating... kind regards, David Van Assche On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 9:06 PM, Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.comwrote: On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 2:17 PM, David Van Asschedvanass...@gmail.com wrote: [snip] Or are you saying the feedback is getting through and I'm just not seeing it?

Also please share your ideas on have to better this feedback on the deployment team, meetings and wiki-pages. as a side note. we need also more feedback from XO deployments with Sugar, are OLPC and Countries willing to help ?. or just passing all the responsibility to SugarLabs?. I know that many of you can't answer that question..because we don't know actually how is the actual state of XO deployments with sugar..or yes?. Because regarding SOAS and small trials with Classmates or pc's, run by little local labs we DO have more information. As an example SugarLabs Co [1], is documenting all it's process on the wiki and also Sugar labs Chile [2] is beginning to do so. [1]http://co.sugarlabs.org/go/Pedagogia/Talleres [2] http://cl.sugarlabs.org/go/Propuesta_Municipalidad_Huechuraba i also see every day feedback on the GPA pilot..both on mailists and on trac What about Peru and Uruguay ?. Because teachers working with us on OLPC-sur are only volunteers that don't seem to have access to information of the status of the overall project or less participate about it's direction. cheers!.
