Bernie, Marco, Morgs, and I were talking about it on IRC recently, and Morgan expressed concern that, to users, there might be confusion between the "sugar desktop" (sucrose), and that of the shell/glucose. <br>
<br>As far as the API is concerned, the shell is imported as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarabe" target="_blank">jarabe</a>, which means <i>syrup</i> in Spanish. (single words are more convinent for python packages, I've been told)<br>
<br>In order to reduce confusion, we should, IMHO, change the name of the "sugar" package to either "jarabe" (which would be sugar-jarabe in most distros) or "sugar-shell" (which, oddly enough, is also a <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sugar+shell" target="_blank">meaningful phrase</a>). <br clear="all">
