Description
"Fedora 20's default GNOME3 graphical software installer tool fails to find Sugar, reportedly as Sugar is not considered to be an 'application'."
This is a significant problem. Sugar will be more successful if Fedora users can easily find it by a simple keyword search in the default installer. A user should not have to install a new installation app (yumex) in order to find Sugar. I suggest that the team create an "application" that (i) meets Fedora's criteria for applications and (ii) automatically executes a script that downloads and installs the necessary components of Sugar. Better yet, the Sugar Learning Platform Package App could even give a user a set of choices of available components and/or activity packages to add to the script.

I am running fedora 21 and I see sugar in GNOME-Software. But there are no sugar activities, neither as addons or separate apps.
