== Introduction ==
The entire workflow that the Platform Team provides for Sugar doers is whirling around three major services:
* GNU/Linux distributions,
* Sugar Bazaar, and
* [[Activity Library]].

'''GNU/Linux distributions'''<br>
Provide Sugar dependencies and, for major distributions, Sugar packages that might be used as-is.
'''Bazaar'''<br>
In cases when Sugar is not packaged or there are no required dependencies, packages will be built on Bazaar. But the major purpose of Bazaar is to be a place to consolidate all Sugar doers' efforts:
* host released sources (so, there is no need in requesting a shell account to upload files to http://download.sugarlabs.org),
* being a universal build farm for binary-based projects,
* support QA workflows when Bazaar packages might be branched, tested, and released.
'''Activity Library'''<br>
Once Bazaar is in service, the Activity Library will be just a catalog of activities, all downloading will happen from Bazaar.
