==Initial motivation for the Taxonomy page==
+
Benjamin M. Schwartz has proposed a taxonomy for the various Sugar components to remedy an ongoing naming problem.
+
+
"I think Sugar has a naming problem. There are a lot of different digital
+
objects being produced by this project, and referring to all of them as
+
Sugar is becoming increasingly confusing. For example, the discussion
+
about "Sugar on Windows" has been all but incomprehensible, because each
+
author means something entirely different by the term "Sugar". Similarly,
+
the recent proposals for "inclusion in Sugar" are extremely confusing,
+
since these components will not be required to run Sugar.
+
+
"To resolve this, I am going to attempt to list a number of important,
+
distinct digital objects that this work has produced. I will also
+
introduce cutesy codenames. I hope that the Sugar developers will adopt a
+
clear set of distinct names, and I do not care if they choose these names
+
or other names."
