2. The plan There are two main areas we want to concentrate on. (1) Localize Sugar with basic Activities - everyone is invited TRANSLATIONS, run a pilot project to see what could be the possible advantage of using XO's and/or Sugar only in polish education perspective; (2) Build a Community and run a Lending Library in Warsaw.
