The major idea is to have a solid core (with stable release cycle) <=> dbus-API/sugar-toolkit-API (ideally, only dbus) <=> unlimited number of activities that use core functionality and do not follow 6 months release cycle (which could be overmuch for activity).
This proposal assumes that the core of sugar development(in common sense) is variety of developers rather then developers who are taking part in sugar core(glucose) development. So, it's all about seeing from activity/3rd-party developers.
From such new core POV, sugar development process will look like:
* variety of sugar activities
* that use Sugar Services
So, developers use a set of services that have theirs own API changes based schedules. Existed glucose could be treated as a big service and splited to several components but thats not a task for this proposal. Instead, it's about proposing basic infrastructure of Sugar Services and several services that are not part of glucose.
