I think we shouldn't be too specific about how to contribute. Testing 
and improving Sugar raises the barrier-to-entry too high and is (as 
ever so often in this education project;-) too tech-centric. I think a 
more general note in terms of "let us know about all the cool things 
you and your kids do by sending us an e-mail / posting to the forums / 
etc." might be more appropiate.

Plus, which "advanced user" actually reads a manual? That just for the 
n00bs, right? ;-)

That's a very good point, we should certainly have such an ad!

I vote for an Adam Holt version of 
http://www.history.army.mil/art/Posters/WWI/I_want_you.jpg saying "I 
Want YOU for Support-Gang"... ;-)

Hasn't had his first cup of coffee yet,
