This effort is basically dead because Sugar requires the use of undocumented non-standard interfaces. The author would appreciate being informed if the situation ever changes.

UPDATE: The Tux Paint developers are willing to help with whatever is necessary, and to apply patches to the mainstream Tux Paint that are developed here. All we need is someone to work with them.... :)
