Notably his particular interested in creating a smooth ride, friendly and backwards-compatible for teachers who've made backups of kids' Journals onto USB sticks, using prior versions like Sugar .82 derivatives such as http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/8.2.1 etc. Kindly do him a favor and give this a go!

But time ran out as v10.1.3 filled up the whole hour, so keep up the great work as in the end we have a great topic to ponder for next time :)
