that's certainly very interesting. Sugar's code is open and at some
point I think we'll see countries patching its source code in order to
customize the software further than just adding/removing activities or
changing the language.

I hope that this can be done in a concerted way that doesn't bring
duplication of efforts and everybody can share the advances of each
participant.

Feel free to ask in the sugar ml any questions you have about that.
