Detailed Description

In fact this feature is an end users oriented(technically we not invent super format for various types of content, just unified sugar wrapper). Users all time know that there is only one type of sugar objects, they see it as a Journal item, one file with suffix .xo in non-sugar environments etc. So they need only upload this file to Journal and click to activate it.

Release Notes

The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. An Example is 0.84/Notes. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns. If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here. You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the release team and shipped with the release.

 == Detailed Description ==
-''Expand on the summary, if appropriate.  A couple sentences suffices to explain the goal, but the more details you can provide the better.''
+In fact this feature is an end users oriented(technically we not invent super format for various types of content, just unified sugar wrapper). Users all time know that there is only one type of sugar objects, they see it as a Journal item, one file with suffix ''.xo'' in non-sugar environments etc. So they need only upload this file to Journal and click to activate it.
 == Benefit to Sugar ==
-''What is the benefit to the platform?  If this is a major capability update, what has changed?  If this is a new feature, what capabilities does it bring? Why will Sugar become a better platform or project because of this feature?''
-''Make sure to note here as well if this feature has been requested by a specific deployment, or if it has emerged from a bug report.''
 == Scope ==
-''What work do the developers have to accomplish to complete the feature in time for release?  Is it a large change affecting many parts of the distribution or is it a very isolated change? What are those changes?''
 == How To Test ==
 {{:{{PAGENAME}}/Testing}}
 == User Experience ==
-''If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result?  Describe what they will see or notice.''
+Since we have only one type of sugar objects, user all time knows that if there is a file with suffix ''.xo'' he can download/open-in-journal it and need only click to activate it in sugar.
 == Dependencies ==
-''What other packages (RPMs) depend on this package?  Are there changes outside the developers' control on which completion of this feature depends?  In other words, completion of another feature owned by someone else and might cause you to not be able to finish on time or that you would need to coordinate?  Other upstream projects like python?''
+Nothing except existed sucrose dependencies.
 == Contingency Plan ==
-''If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan?  This might be as simple as "None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour."  Or it might not.  If you feature is not completed in time we want to assure others that other parts of Sugar will not be in jeopardy.''
+None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour.
 == Documentation ==
-''Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself?  Has this topic been discussed in the mailing list or during a meeting? Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved.''
