Hi all,

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Sugar_Bundles

One file format to transfer various types of content in/out to/from
sugar environment with keeping metadata. 

In fact, this feature is an end users oriented(technically we not invent
super format for various types of content, just unified sugar wrapper).
Users all time know that there is only one type of sugar objects, they
see it as a Journal item, one file with suffix .xo in non-sugar
environments etc. So they need only upload this file to Journal and
click to activate it.

Benefit to Sugar

Out of sugar environment, users know that there is only one type of
sugar objects and only thing they should do to activate them is
uploading .xo file to Journal and click it.

So if one user uploaded Journal object(any type - activity, activity
object, content library etc.) to the web, another user can
download/transfer-through-many-non-sugar-environments it and open in his
sugar environment with keeping all metadata(he will get the same Journal
entry). 

We can also collect users object on public server like ASLO to have
server like sharing feature.
