Was about to try uploading moon activity as a test, but the developer  
text and options turn more and more into firefox mozilla talk. I  
stopped as the point it hit me for 'supported platforms'... I know  
this is all very new, but isn't this a great case for getting the  
various potential distros listed? BSD, Linux, Mac OSX, Solaris,  
Windows, or All; seems a little too off base?

The other option that needs it's values tweaked was "Add-on Type"...  
Extension, Theme, Dictionary, Language Pack? Hmmm ;-)

Need the site ironed out first or the guides will all be misleading.

Happy to help here. Really like the jigsaw piece, it's just asking to  
get sugarized :-)

Lot's of Mozilla/firefox text to rework.

Sounds like a plan...

Absolutely – thanks to all who got it this far!

This is likely to be one of the locations where real sugar users come  
visit us most often (though hopefully a software-update cp module will  
auto cover the month to month upgrade cycles)...
