Sugar was designed with a very specific notion of what an activity: collaborative, constructivist, stores in the Journal, view source, written in PyGTK using the supplied frameworks. The current inability to run Flash, Javascript or even GTK programs under Sugar is linked to this initial choice. More recently, a consensus seems to have developed that it is worthwhile to include less "ideal" activities, in the name of having those activities at all. I think it is worth recognizing this change so as to encourage related development efforts. -Wade
