Actually, 500 "Untitled"s are so much worse than 5 sets of 100 "Foo.activity", because (in my limited experience) kids who can read know that "Speak activity" is different than "Write activity".
Hopefully this point is clear.
There are literally over a hundred emails about this design decision years back - it was not done lightly. I didn't even participate and I was exhausted by the debate.I'm totally confused :) I thought this has only been discussed since June, for this year's GSOC?
I don't want to derial the GSOC projec. If people are aware of all the previous discussions and designs about save as / keep, sorry for the noise. It didn't sound like that to me. Keep and something akin to "save as" has been thought about and designed in to Sugar since [the original Human Interface Guide](http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/The_Journal): the principles deprecating "save" and "save as" replaced it with "Keep", the "keep button", or the idea of "keeping". I will be flamed for suggesting "Keep" is the same as "save as", but it's darn close. Some design documents and discussions, including the ones with the original sugar designers about *removing* "Keep" and/or "Keep As" buttons, include: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/The_Journal#The_Notion_of_.22Keeping.22 http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023401.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023404.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023406.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023441.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023439.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023480.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-September/026474.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2011-May/031316.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2011-July/032438.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2011-July/032486.html etc. Martin
