(2008-12-24) Sugar To Gnome

Sugar Labs, spun off from OLPC, is joining GNOME. Sugar UI leverages many technologies from the GNOME stack, including the GTK+ widget toolkit and the Telepathy messaging framework. Large parts of the Sugar user interface were developed in the Python programming language with the GTK+ bindings. Sugar is packaged for several distributions, including Fed Ora and Ubuntu, and is distributed under the GNU's General Public License (GPL).
