[Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar] Example objects support

[Martin Abente]

Hello Bert!

Thanks for taking your time looking at this.

What I tried, or I am trying, to do is to make this feature available as
easy as we can, so even deployments could add their own examples with very
little technical knowledge requirements. That why I try this convention
(magical) idea.

I would really appreciate if you could bring you ideas to the design
thread. :) Because the design of this feature seems to be changing there.
