SocialCalc is a spreadsheet activity developed in JavaScript for functioning in the Sugar environment, OLPC’s software paradigm. The Javascript code was initially coded by Dan Bricklin of Software Garden Inc., for Socialtext Inc. The OLPC part of the project has been coordinated by Manusheel Gupta, Managing Director of SEETA (Software for Education, Entertainment and Training Activities), Vijit Singh, Software Engineer, Products and Services at SEETA, and K.S. Preeti, undergraduate student from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, University of Delhi with guidance from Walter Bender, Oversight Board Member at Sugar Labs. The XOCom library, which is
used to communicate between Python based Sugar environment and JavaScript based SocialCalc was developed by Luke Closs from Socialtext Inc. The pie, line and bar chart tools have been recently developed by Nicholas Doiron, an engineering student
from Carnegie Mellon University, U.S.A. Collaboration over the mesh network has been developed by Vijit Singh under the guidance of Manusheel Gupta.
