sugar operating system for OLPC jhbuild 18Sep9 mapping activity

=whoami=
I am a teacher that believes most schools are teaching 19th century skills in a 21st century world.Sugar, and similar projects can help reverse that sorry state of affairs.
=scope and info=
I want to reproduce something like I did [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5202122558113609861&ei=vHQlSpmEE4...­mMXjBQ&q=LTSP here].
=links=
Ck out the project here: http://www.sugarlabs.org/
Sugar project has great promise in helping build schools where students are evaluated on performance rather than testing.

=ongoing issues=

==general==
*no easy way to report a bug as anonymous
*arrow keys and delete key in emulator do not work in (many,Write) activity
*NO OBVIOUS save/commit button or hot key (UI makes no change to indicate save has happened)
*no mouse control or button to activate frames or home view (ctrl +shift doesn't allow for use of Sugar hot keys)
*ctrl + shift in emulator is a real pain
*-no indication in the UI that a save has taken place
*-copy and paste out of the emulator does not work
*-can't name chats
==sharing==
*-no indication in the UI to let me know if someone is sharing/editing with me (?)
**I want to find a way to 'play' with others in the neighborhood
*-announcements to neighborhood to indicate 'let's play/work together'
*-control over edits to shared docs?
*my shared documents are not 'connected to me' in the neighborhood view
===wish===
*Something like http://www.clubpenguin.com/ for sharing learning activities where kids could play each other's games, interact, code... :)
*list of public or portal jabber sites that are using Sugar for collaboration among schools...

==activities==
===labyrinth===
*re name to 'map my ideas'?
*linking is awkward
