Comment (by joaoboscoapf):

 There are alternatives to Sugar that work great. Have you ever seen the
 pepper software? Take a look at it: http://www.pepper.com/linux/olpc.html

 It is just like Sugar! Actually, it has almost everything Sugar have and
 will have in the future. Its interface is just like Sugar, with the frame,
 activities, zoom metaphor and etc. You should at least give it a try! Take
 a look at the video application and you'll see what i am talking about ...

 Certainly, work in Sugar is to reinvent the wheel. I think a very smart
 decision to speed up the OLPC project development would be to join efforts
 with pepper team to integrate it better with the XO. Pepper is much better
 than sugar. This is obvious since pepper is a 5 years old software and
 Sugar is still 0.6 ...
