[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] ASLO Suggestion

[James Simmons]

Martin,

I phrased that poorly.  A kid might care that James Simmons wrote Read 
Etexts.  He probably won't care if James Simmons is a part of Sugar 
Labs, or part of the community, or if it was part of GCompris, or if we 
consider Read Etexts part of Glucose, Sucrose, Fructose, etc.

If a kid accidentally removes the Moon Activity and wants it back he 
might look in Math and Science or he might look in Pre-Installed.  It 
should be listed in both places.

As far as Dominick's vs. Costco, I enjoy the time I spend at Costco and 
hate the time I spend at Dominick's.  A good taxonomy would encourage a 
kid to explore the site and see what's available.  A poor one would make 
him feel like I do on Sunday afternoons, wondering why canned tomatoes 
are in a totally different aisle than other canned vegetables, or why 
Pita bread isn't with the rest of the bread, or why Blue or Feta cheese 
isn't with the rest of the cheese in the Dairy section, etc.
