I am a teacher that believes most schools are teaching 19th century skills in a 21st century world.Sugar, and similar projects can help reverse that sorry state of affairs.
=scope and info=
I want to reproduce something like I did [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5202122558113609861&ei=vHQlSpmEE4GyqAOEmMXjBQ&q=LTSP here].
=links=
Ck out the project here: http://www.sugarlabs.org/
Sugar project has great promise in helping build schools where students are evaluated on performance rather than testing.

=ongoing issues=
==general==
*sometimes after installing a new .xo users will not see it in the ‘ring’
*users are not notified of new .xo versions
*no easy way to report a bug as anonymous
**In fact, it takes 16 clicks(knowing what you are doing!) to post a bug to the tracker
*arrow keys and delete key in emulator do not work in (many,Write) activity
*NO OBVIOUS save/commit button or hot key (UI makes no change to indicate save has happened)
*no mouse control or button to activate frames or home view (ctrl +shift doesn’t allow for use of Sugar hot keys)
*ctrl + shift in emulator is a real pain
*-no indication in the UI that a save has taken place
*-copy and paste out of the emulator does not work
*-can’t name chats
==sharing==
*-no indication in the UI to let me know if someone is sharing/editing with me (?)
**I want to find a way to ‘play’ with others in the neighborhood
*-announcements to neighborhood to indicate ‘let’s play/work together’
*-control over edits to shared docs?
*my shared documents are not ‘connected to me’ in the neighborhood view
===wish===
*That every open source developer make more screencasts
*Something like http://www.clubpenguin.com/ for sharing learning activities where kids could play each other’s games, interact, code… 
*list of public or portal jabber sites that are using Sugar for collaboration among schools…
==activities==

11 practical rules for writing professional grade bug reports. We teach these rules at Portnov Computer School (www.portnov.com) to career change students preparing to the Software Testing Career.
Here is the summary of BUG REPORTING RULES:
1. Do not assume developer knows less than you do about the application
2. Do not cite the rules – they know the rules, just talk about the problem itself
3. Report a bug immediately, do not postpone
4. Each “problem” has a story (each decision is a compromise) research before reporting
5. Do not assume all the companies have same approach to writing bug reports
6. Use technical terms, not “people off the street” language
7. Rule of WWW – What happened, Where it happened, under Which circumstances
8. Write one bug report for each fix to be verified
9. Bug report is not about perfect English
10. Bug reports are as concise as possible
11. Bug report should be as complete as possible

Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.
