Generally speaking, people (students and teachers) from Peruvian one-teachers offline schools might need the same "offline email". But the approach that was take for Sugar Network is not trying to create full featured/partial replacement of online environments (e.g., email, web, wikipedia, feedback reporting system, etc) but create one solid/robust system (that is capable for offline) with features: * content sharing (both ways, not only from deployers to deployments) * having reliable feedback from the field, i.e., fail reports, usage statistics, questions * and social activity regarding the content in general (review, comments, etc) So, there is no direct offline-email analogy. But in my mind, designed Sugar Network functionality makes offline-email less needed (and not needed at all if we are talking about environments like rural schools with no any IT skilled people). -- Aleksey _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
