= Purpose =
Installing activities on every sugarized GNU/Linux distribution(not only XO)
just by clicking on icon in addons.sugarlabs.org.
= Problems to solve =
* install proper dependencies
* install activity itself
** blobs in activities
** should we build non-pure-python activities while installing or use binary packages
** and in general, how treat variety of platforms: x86, x86_64 and future ARM, MIPS
