==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."
