Good morning Mikus;)

Thanks for you help last week.  If, by reference platform, you are
referring to a specific distribution, release, and packages set for
Sugar development.  Then, no, there is no reference platform.

One of our goals is to be distribution agnostic.  From a development
point of view this allows us to create an abstraction barrier between
Sugar and the platform underneath it.

>From a social point of view we avoid the 'distro wars.'  We can focus on
being the best learning platform.  The system integrators and deployers
can chose us or not chose us, based on their current market needs.

Thanks
