[Sugar-devel] need a better name for starting page of karma than "MenuStage"

[NoiseEHC]

Could you please name those items in English?
I suggest this because probably Karma is one of the most important 
things from an educational viewpoint because it will allow developing 
curriculum in a totally open way. I mean it will allow teachers to avoid 
locking teaching materials even into Sugar so no matter what will happen 
10 years from now, will Android or ChromeOS (os something totally 
unpredicted OS) take off, or will Sugar spread to hundreds of millions 
of machines, or will Windows dominate in on portable machines or 
whatever, the curriculum will still be usable because there will be some 
browser in the future that is sure. So most likely most of the 
programmers developing curricula will use Karma so it would be wise to 
name things that will be understandable for the widest international 
audience.
Just name it as "table of contents" or "directory".
