Tonight at 6 JT and I discussed the Sugar website with Sameer Verma and his grad student Henry Villar at an XO deployment in Jamaica, as part of our effort to gain more insight on what folks in the field wanted to see from the new site. Sameer brought up some very interesting points- differences in culture affecting impact of the content on the site and even the effectiveness of its layout; the idea of adding first-time computer users as another identity with its own portal, structured in a way that's more friendly to novice net surfers; and burning our tutorial videos to DVD for use in areas where computers are scarce but DVD players are plentiful.
The notes from our meeting on Google Docs (link coming soon).
