Sugar Labs

Our team (Flux Capacitators) has tentatively decided to work on the Sugar Labs project.  It is a spin-off of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program.  The project consists of activities that run on the OLPC XO-1 netbook.  I think this will be a great project for us to get involved with because it seems very well-organized and well-documented.  They also seem to be very willing to help students get involved in projects.  Many of their bugs and ideas for new features are labeled are labeled "easy" so that students who are just getting started with open source can easily get involved.  The tough part about this project will be sorting through all of the documentation and determining what we want to work on.  I think a good first step would be to work on one of the easier to fix bugs.  This will help us get familiar with the code and the scope of the project.  Ultimately, I think our group would really like to add a feature or work on a new activity.
