$100 Laptop Platform Moves On

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the things-are-sweeter-with-sugar dept.

The BBC is reporting that Sugar Labs is planning on taking "Sugar," the XO laptop's innovative interface, to the next level and distribute to a broader audience. "Sugar is a user interface that allows children to collaborate even when working on different machines. For example, they can write documents or make music together. The open source software also contains a journal and automatically saves and backs up all data. [...] Sugar Labs will work closely with developers from the open source community to develop the user interface for other computers and operating systems. It has already been bundled with the most recent releases of the Ubuntu and Fedora Linux operating systems."

    Yeah, that's exactly what Linux needs. Another window manager that's completely different from the others and uses incompatible toolsets. That will TOTALLY encourage gui development for Linux.
