Date: Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 10:40 AM<br>Subject: Roadmap update<br>To: <a href="mailto:sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br><br><br>Hello,<br><br>as you might have learned from the various Sugarcamp reports, OLPC is not able to fund Sugar development anymore. The only area of synergy/intersection might be support for standard linux applications. We have to start walking on our own.<br>
<br>As you have probably guessed, this is going to have strong consequences on the roadmap. We will have to punt part of the work and to reasses priorities. We started doing it at Sugarcamp and we will continue on this mailing list and during the Development team weekly meetings. The 0.84 release will be unchanged, but the feauture freeze might be adjusted a bit.<br>
<br>One of my first priorities will be to do whatever I can to make it easier to new contributors to step in. Walter and David are working hard to get more companies involved. It's a *difficult* time, we will need everyone help to make 0.84 a success.<br>
