startup scripts(launchers) could be parts of sugar itself and contain only metadata about viewer activity.

In that case we have list of stable launchers(since they don't have much code) and in anytime we could download last version of viewer activity from ASLO.

== content viewers ==
content viewers should get the functionality of being made as slide-shows. For example, inside the jukebox activity, one should be able to add various media files, i.e., a playlist. It would appear in the journal as a jukebox activity. The same with image viewer, creating slideshows of images. Just some thoughts on the idea that launching new viewer activities, and these viewer activities could be usefull. [[User:HoboPrimate|HoboPrimate]] 19:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
== Just open Browse! ==
A dedicated "Web Content Viewer" makes little sense. Just pass the file:/// URL to existing machinery to open a URL (thus opening up Browse) and declare victory!
I don't see much benefit to opening web content in something that's sort of like Browse but isn't. Look at the 8.2.0 Help activity, the moment you follow an external URL you might as well be running Browse instead of the same code in a different skin.
Any changes to Browse (like remembering your current location, annotating books, etc.) seem best handled by an extension, like the existing eReader one.

=== Mozilla can open compressed files, including bundles ===
BTW, one trick of Mozilla code is that it can open compressed files using the jar: protocol;<br />
<tt>jar:''protocol:/URL''!''/path/in/zip/file''</tt>
Thus the activity.info can tell Browse to open the URL jar:file:///home/olpc/Activities/SomeBrowserStuff.xo!/content/index.html and you need never unpack the ZIP file, browsing the HTML just works. I've verified this with the Net Bible collection, I believe it's true for other collections. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 02:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
: Still works in OLPC 10.1.2 (os852), Browse can view content in a compressed bundle. You could either view directly in the Journal or from a copy under Activities, without unpacking. The enhancement bug for this feature is {{bug|1258}}: "support browsing HTML content within bundles instead of unzipping them". -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 16:16, 28 August 2010 (EDT)
