I love these ideas. I would even go as far as to remove .xo support
altogether as there are a number of flaws in that format now that
sugar
is hugely increasing in scope.
Can you expand on this idea? My main complaint with what I've seen
from previous non-OLPC mechanisms is that root/super-user privileges
are required. We can wrap any old CLI in a shiny, pretty, GUI. But it
needs to work in a sane, safe way without passwords for small human
beings.
