metadata
updating metadata discussion.
- make versioning clear to the user
- parents : identify derived codebases, the branch point and the version at the branch
- make dependencies clear and explicit
- define sugar/platform versions; can't keep api compat forever
- note that something /could/ work on future platform versions, not guaranteed.
- platform name and #. "sugar 0", since we don't have explicit versioning yet
- nnb: we don't have a platform name : OLPC OS? Sugar/Linux? Sugar?
- define sugar/platform versions; can't keep api compat forever
- tv : 'the sweet machine' coming with sugar.

setup.py file status?
Is the setup.py file deprecated? in use? I can't get it to work for my activity right now... (we should have a canonical set of scripts that is in one location, pullable via git, for easier maintenance, rather than having this inline on the wiki. Mchua 00:55, 7 June 2008 (EDT)
