===~~Sweet~~: The ~~abstract design~~ of the experience===

===Starch(es): A complete disk image for Sugar===

''(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).

* In July 2010, Paraguay Educa chose the name '''[[Dextrose|Dextrose]]''' (approximately acronymized from "DEployments' Xo OS") for their release of Sugar 0.88 on Fedora 11 for XO laptops ([http://www.mail-archive.com/marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg01213.html announcement]). The molecule [[wikipedia:Dextrose|Dextrose]] is the dextrorotatory form of glucose or D-glucose, the sugar in blood and other living systems. So, it represents a vital infusion for the project.

===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].

~ For example, Skype, printer capability, IM software

: as a former beekeeper I can tell you that not all honey is organic, though we all wish it were so (antibiotics taint a lot of it, especially in developing countries) [[User:Yamaplos|Yamaplos]] 15:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

===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)''

~~''(~~the ~~taste of~~ sugar~~)''~~

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!".

~~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.~~
