Yeah, that's an interesting subject. We have control on the sugar api,
in other words, what activity authors can expect to find that is
specific to sugar. But activities use lots of other, non-sugar,
software like libraries, X, etc How can activity authors know what
their activities can expect in the environments they are run in?

One notable example: many activities developed for the XO depend on
pygame, but I'm not sure it's properly packaged for all distros, and
even then, activities installed as .xo won't be dragging it along. How
can we give a better experience here?

Regards,

Tomeu
