Developers, Testers, Bug Marshals, Newsletter Report Writers, Documenters, Translators, Designers, SysAdmin and GIS Specialists.
Broadly speaking, the two projects have the same roles but with different names. However, there are three specific roles related with bug, test and SysAdmin that in Sugar-Lab project is inside the Developer role.
