Sounds interesting!

Have you considered working together with the authors of Measure to 
integrate your changes there instead of forking?

SoaS is a distribution in its own right.  It is based on Fedora.

It does make sense to make a "SoaDS", but that would be a _different_ 
distribution, so it won't change the fact that the main upstream 
environment is SoaS.  The SoaS based on Fedora.

Debian itself is stable, possible more so than Fedora - I really don't 
know as I have never used Fedora.  But Debian does not yet contain the 
full Sugar environment, and the parts provided is not currently 
up-to-date.

Yes, I believe at least 2 Ubuntu Sugar developers are on this list too 
(I am not one of them).

Ubuntu currently package Sugar independently from Debian, so the amount 
available and the quality of it should be judged separately.

Please discuss Ubuntu-specific stuff at the Ubuntu Sugar list.

There has been discussion upstream on how to generally make Sugar 
activities also run in non-Sugar environments.

Best place to discuss that is probably the upstream Sugar-devel list.


Hope that helps,
