The general goal is to support Sugar doers in their regular behaviors within the Sugar ecosystem by providing a seamless environment by which to follow a common strategy. In other words, it is exactly about having a platform that supports Sugar doers.

~~The~~ key differences with the ~~existed~~ teams:

There are key differences with the existing teams:

* ~~In comparing with~~ the [[Activity Team]], the Platform Team does not care about developing particular activities but rather provides useful infrastructure to help people in activity ~~developing~~ process.

* Compared to the [[Activity Team]], the Platform Team does not care about developing any particular activities, but rather provides a useful software infrastructure to help people in the activity development process.

* ~~In comparing~~ with the [[Development Team]], the Platform Team does not care about developing Sugar ~~Desktop Environment~~ (Sucrose) but rather provides useful ~~infrastructure~~ to help, as many as possible~~, people~~ to take part in Sucrose development process.

* Compared with the [[Development Team]], the Platform Team does not care about developing the Sugar learning environment (Sucrose), but rather provides a useful software architecture to help as many people as possible to take part in the Sucrose development process.

* ~~In comparing~~ with the [[Infrastructure Team]], the Platform Team does ~~developing~~ of services that [[Infrastructure Team]] ~~will administrate~~.

* Compared with the [[Infrastructure Team]], the Platform Team does develop some of the services that the [[Infrastructure Team]] administers.

In particular:

In particular, the Platform Team will

* Support doing ~~behavior~~ by providing useful [[Platform_Team/Sweets|distribution method]] and various Sugar Doers Kits (that really sounds better than ~~another~~ SDK transcription, Software Developers Kit).

* Support ''doing'' behaviors by providing useful [[Platform_Team/Sweets|distribution method]]s and various Sugar Doers' Kits (that really sounds better than the traditional SDK transcription, Software Developers Kit).

* Connect doers and users by developing services for seamless infrastructure, e.g., [[Activity Library]].

* Connect doers and other learners (users) by developing services for a seamless infrastructure for sharing software, e.g., [[Activity Library]].

* ~~Prolong~~ the previous two goals to ~~the~~ non-Sugar environments, not to ''sugarize'' them all but rather to ~~emerge~~ Sugar software to the common [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software Free Software] and ~~educational ecosystem~~.

* Extend the previous two goals to non-Sugar environments, not to ''sugarize'' them all, but rather to merge and promote Sugar software with and within the common [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software Free Software] and education ecosystems.
