''(starch is composed of multiple sugars bonded together)''
Description: We often distribute complete disk images for Sugar, ready to
boot. These images are composed of multiple elements of the above stack.
Each image series should be named separately, to minimize confusion. For cutesy codenames, we could have a development build ("glycogen", a starch used to produce Glucose) and a stable build ("cellulose", an extremely stable starch).

===Honey: activities developed by 'in the wild' vendors===
''a sweet fluid made by bees, mostly Fructose''
Description: Activities that are packaged by outside developers, sometimes ports of activities to Sugar from other OS. It might enhance Sugar and the Sweet experience, but "honey frequently contains dormant endospores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can be dangerous to infants" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey Wikipedia].

===Sucrose: The interface, plus a set of demonstration activities===
''("table sugar", the kind you buy in the store. It consists of glucose and fructose, combined)''
Description: Sucrose consists of both Glucose and Fructose. It therefore
represents a complete example Sugar environment, ready to be installed
through a package manager. The purpose of Sucrose is so that prospective
deployers can install the "sugar-sucrose" package, and immediately say
"Wow! Look at all the cool capabilities that this system has!".

===Sweet: The abstract design of the experience===
''(the taste of sugar)''
Description: "Sweet" is the abstract design of the interface's appearance
and behavior, independent of any code actually implementing this design, and by extension—the learner experience.
The mockups at [[Design Team/Designs]] represent this
component's second major release, or perhaps 2.0-alpha.
