Just a small comment: Sugarlabs would package activities as .xo, so
all Sugar users can install bundles if they wish, but all the rest of
the software is provided as source tarballs. Then OLPC and Fedora
would do rpms and Debian and Ubuntu .debs, as you say below.

SugarLabs might be interested in doing its own LiveCD/LiveUSB images,
to make testing easier.

Thanks your great work,
