 >"Fedora 20's default GNOME3 graphical software installer tool fails to
 find Sugar, reportedly as Sugar is not considered to be an 'application'."

 This is a significant problem.  Sugar will be more successful if Fedora
 users can easily find it by a simple keyword search in the default
 installer.  A user should not have to install a new installation app
 (yumex) in order to find Sugar.  I suggest that the team create an
 "application" that (i) meets Fedora's criteria for applications and (ii)
 automatically executes a script that downloads and installs the necessary
 components of Sugar.  Better yet, the Sugar Learning Platform Package App
 could even give a user a set of choices of available components and/or
 activity packages to add to the script.
