Yes, that's certainly
Thanks Walter for your thorough answer!
I'm well, thanks, and I hope no one here suffers too much from the
Covid-19 crisis.

One possible way is for Sugar Labs to join
Hi Christoph,
Yes, I'm familiar, but I was talking in the context of ways to help
Sugar/Sugarizer platforms, not for me personally. I just used myself as an

Hi Charlie,
have you looked at Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/)? I've supported two
or three open source developers via it over the years and am finding it a
low-friction way to do that via exactly the kind of monthly
subscriptions/donations that you mention.
Cheers,

Hello all,
I would like to mention that there are probably other people, besides
myself, who would love to develop their ideas for education software, if
only there were some way to get paid. I used to make free education
software back when I had kids and could afford the time. I personally

Hi all,
a quick thought experiment from another old-timer and long-term lurker here:
James, I think one might also turn your assessment on its head:
"The *low number of contributors* to Sugar Labs, Sugar, Sugarizer,
and Music Blocks is *due to the focus that we have, and it's unclear*. The
I disagree that the focus has shifted or that it should be shifted
back to what it was. The state of Sugar Labs, Sugar, Sugarizer, and
Music Blocks is due to the contributors we have, and they are too few.
No amount of refocusing will have any real effect on that.
Sugar Labs will thrive if there
Thanks James.
So Sugar is maintained by a handful of people but it is not actively
developed anymore. Sugar Labs puts some efforts in maintaining it but
does not really know who is still using it. Sugar Labs also hosts the
Sugarizer project, which is well alive and reaching children at least
in
Thanks for asking. My reply in context below.

Absolutely. I'll let better-informed people answer the Q's.
For myself, I surveyed the various forms of bootable Sugar distros and
would be happy to post the results.

Dear all,
I hope you're all doing well, in every corner of the world.
After participating to a survey called "State of Emacs", and thinking
about the various "State of X" that you can find in the software world
(State of Clojure, State of the Octoverse, etc.), I was wondering if
you would find

Ouch. I see a lot of "MII" (missing in inaction?) in this list.

Hi James and all,
let me deliberately sidetrack the issue at stake with a larger issue
which I'm curious about: what is the current activity status of Sugar?
Since I've been unsubscribed from the list a few years ago (because my
@laptop.org alias somehow died), I've missed a lot. I'm aware of
22 matches
