[sugar] Sugar application repository?

[MBurns]

An idea was proposed between myself and members of the OSL that are working
on various parts of the OLPC. When Sugar and, more importantly, Activity
Bundles, are fully up and running, what is going to be the distribution
means on a grand scale for these self-contained applications?

Sharing an activity friend-to-friend over the mesh gives an elegant way to
share the application to those who don't have it, but how to find the
application in the first place. The idea was something akin to the KDE-Apps
[1] website. Which itself is vaguely similar to the download.com,
macupdate.com, etc, software repositories.

We are proposing a single, centralized place to have Activity Bundles
hosted/aggregated, for children to find and download to their machines.
Games, applications and even educational content sets. What do you all think
of the idea?

The OSL is offering to host and administrate a site like this, if it is seen
as a useful tool for the community.
