* split implementations per language.
* split implementations per language.
Zero Sugar natively supports ''forks'' (better name?) that are similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29 regular] forks in FOSS but could be just results of doers' experiments i.e. without intension to push changes to an upstream. Forks are regular Zero packages and identified by unique Web url but linked to an upstream package (by mentioning upstream url in [http://0install.net/interface-spec.html#id4015759 feed-for] metadata field). So, having an upstream activity http://go.sugarlabs.org/Record, http://A.doer.org/My_Record from doer A and http://B.doer.org/My_Record from doer B, user C will have http://go.sugarlabs.org/Record implementations from three sources.

Having urls as Zero packaging ids, it will be possible to:
* Launch activity in any supported environment just by passing activity url to {{Code|sugar-activity}} command.
* Shell's activities list items might not be tied to activity implementation. Useful for:
** creating activity catalogs without downloading implementations,
** more efficient disk-storage usage e.g remove less frequently used activities to save space for new ones.
