This is great news and the result of plenty of work by people
including some OLPC UK members (e.g., Daniel Drake, Peter Robinson).
I think this version would be great for our pilot school(s), since its
Sugar environment is quite a long way better than the current offical
OLPC XO-1 release.

Peter Robinson and I will be discussing what version of Sugar to put
on the pilot laptops (hopefully XO-1s) on #olpc-uk (link below) when
we get a chance, so please drop in.
