</span>Why would you use Sugar?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We'd love to keep some/any version of Sugar on the XO if possible, even if just so the librarian can putter.<br><br>Important: how compatible is the XO's Ad-Hoc networking with generic Android tablets/phones
and generic/vintage cheap laptops already out there in the world? Any other low-to-medium complexity protocols we should be considering, for XO-1.5 and
higher especially, that might plausibly sail with a few weeks of hacking? (that is if a genuine WiFi hotspot brings more compatibility)<br><br>Anyway: scalability's not a requirement (in this case!) as such
community libraries are tiny, having a couple WiFi devices attached generally, rarely more.</div></div></div></div>
