== Work flows ==
How it looks like for:
=== Users ===
In case of pure internet connection(and implemented [[Features/Zero_Install_integration|Zero Install integration]] feature), user can switch to offline mode and won't encounter any changes in regular workflow. Switching to online mode brings additional progress bar for startup dialog for activities that have pending/not-yet-downloaded/out-dated activity dependencies.

Technically, service could be a part of glucose(or some of its releases) but from activity POV it doesn't make much sense, if activity requires some service, [[Activity_Team/Services/Saccharin|Saccharin]] will do nothing if requested service/version is a part of installed glucose or install proper service(via 0install). Various activities on the same system could use various versions of the same service, in that case [[Activity_Team/Services/Saccharin|Saccharin]](via 0install) will just provide proper version to particular activity.
