Worse: I'm afraid that this transparency could scare some guys here and so don't serve our global objective…

I've packaged all existing Sugar Web Activities (that you could run of Sugar 0.100) and created a launcher that mimic the current Sugar desktop. I've used also HTML5 storage to reproduce a sort of data storage. Finally, Suraj is working on a way to simulate Presence using webRTC API that I hope we could add it shortly to this prototype.

Fantastic! :)

Really great to see this, and for what its worth it ran well in Safari on my Mac (and would be trivial to make a standalone, fullscreen Mac app that wrapped this in an html view if desired). I'm thinking this – at the very least – may be a great path forward for writing Sugar Web apps and having somewhere to quickly and easily test them.
