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.

The corner stone of Sugar Services proposal is [[Activity_Team/Services/Saccharin|Saccharin]] service. This service provides installing/upgrading(via [[Zero Install integration]]) mechanism for all other services. The rest of services is just variety of libraries/applications.
The corner stone of Sugar Services proposal is [[Activity_Team/Services/Saccharin|Saccharin]] service. This service provides installing/upgrading(via 0install) mechanism for all other services. The rest of services is just variety of libraries/applications.
Technically, service could be a part of glucose(or some of its releases) but from activity POV it doesn't make much sense, if activity requires some service, [[Activity_Team/Services/Saccharin|Saccharin]] will do nothing if requested service/version is a part of installed glucose or install proper service(via 0install). Various activities on the same system could use various versions of the same service, in that case [[Activity_Team/Services/Saccharin|Saccharin]](via 0install) will just provide proper version to particular activity.
