The larger problem is the absence of a marketing strategy, we need to know
where we are going to communicate effectively. In particular, we need to
choose and implement how to offer Sugar tryout to teachers and journalists.
I can think of a couple of approaches
* Get Sugar running
I don't think we should be suggestive of Sugar on a tablet until we have a
minimally realistic idea of how to get it done. There is enough talk about
this Sugar-on-Android which is not coming... :)
Though you are right that the Cubox-i might send the wrong message. I was

I knew it's possible to run Sugar in VirtualBox. I didn't know we was
producing vmdk images, I remember Peter was opposed to that. With those
images, is the installation one-click (reasonably close to it) assuming you
have virtualbox already installed?
The wiki page is terribly complicated...

Do we really need a single installer? I mean I see it would be ideal but it
feels like it might be tricky licensing, implementation and maintenance
wise.
From what I understand from Thomas, after installing VirtualBox, it's just
downloading and clicking on an icon (I should really try it but I'm
Of course it doesn't stop us from marketing, but it adds two extra hurdles
for teachers to deal with (the GPL VirtualBox installer + the PUEL
extension pack necessary for passthrough USB support). So techies won't
care, but I guarantee a percentage of teachers will. It's a well-documented
axiom of

Of course I agree with you that less barriers the better but I think we
need to pick our battles. With current state of the downloads page I'd
expect the conversion rate to near the 0%. It takes a *lot* of extra clicks
to achieve the same.
I propose that we

Getting Sugar to run on a Nexus 7 is relatively simple, making it usable
enough would likely be a lot of work but it should be possible. But, as far
as I know, we have no idea of how get around the rooting, making it a
viable solution for deployments. Until we figure that out IMO it doesn't

Daniel - you mean the main download page [1], right? Not the VirtualBox
page [2]?
These and other wiki pages are indeed long and complex. We could break
those out into a dozen subpages to keep each one manageable. This problem
was meant to be solved by the new website template designed to replace

Personally I feel like Sean has already justified his positions in a

development goals which are realistically achievable.
