• Sugarizer is a way to use Sugar on any device using web technologies (HTML5/JavaScript). Strictly speaking, Sugarizer is not a port of Sugar. Sugarizer is based on Sugar Web library, which mimics the Sugar UI using HTML5 and CSS3 and reproduces Sugar views (Home, List, ...). Sugarizer reimplements features of Sugar Core (datastore and journal) in JavaScript and integrates a bunch of activities written for Sugar in Sugar Web. So basically, Sugarizer is "just" a launcher of Sugar Web activities. A Sugarizer server component allows collaboration and presence. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugarizer

• Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 From: "D. Joe" This is what is so exciting about Sugarizer: One of the platforms it targets, Android, is in many signifcant respects the most widely used Linux distribution on the planet. There's no need to sneak it into schools, or to cajole it into the hands of children. What's more, at least a couple of the original goals for the OLPC XO--ubiquity through low cost and aggressive power management--have been brought to fruition and continue to be pursued by the Android market. We don't have to fight a strong current the entire way, we may be able to row along with it, just enough to steer towards our own goals, ... rise of future Sugar developers from the broader pool of Sugar learners demonstrates constructionism at its best. Not every learner should have to become a developer, no, but those that do should be able to use Sugar on their way.
