Sugar Labs notes
Roles for participation are Educator, Content Writer, People Person, Developer, Designer, and Translator. Ideally, I'd like my students to be developers. Some of them could be translators because my university has many international students. Some students would fit best in the role of Designer, but I'm not the designer type, so I wouldn't be very useful as a mentor for them in that role.
To submit a bug for Sugar Labs, (1) Find the correct respository (with /sugarlabs/sugar being the default), (2) look for the Issues tab and click the New Issue button, (3) Write a note about the issue. The respositories for issues include, the default (sugar), the toolkit (gtk3), docs, artwork, sugarlabs, and build. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the difference between "sugar" and "sugarlabs" is as follows: sugar is about the Sugar shell itself; sugarlabs is about the project's web site. Am I correct?
In the Sugar repository, the most recent commit (d3660ac) was 9 days ago (as of today, Oct 14, 2017).
Roadmap and release cycle: The roadmap is the plan for development, which includes release dates, freeze points, lists of module dependencies, and other items. (The Sugar roadmap page is currently empty.) The release cycle is the timing of releases. Each release includes development, beta, release candidate, and the final release.
