Comment:

 This is not unlike sharing, which means different things to different
 activities, but at the same time, we can define categories. Sometimes, the
 source of the content that is manipulated by the activity should be popped
 into the appropriate editor, such as the current implementation of the
 browser, that puts the page source into the Write activity when you type
 FN-SPACE (or CTRL-U). It probably doesn't make sense to show the source
 code of the browser itself in this case. For TurtleArt, we had thought
 about generating the pseudo-equivalent Logo code that would be represented
 by the blocks on the screen. Ideally, this would happen in a Logo
 environment, such as the one that Roger is building. View Source for
 Inkscape, when it is ported, could open the SVG in Write... View Source
 for Memorize (or Deducto) might be the new level editor. View Source for
 TamTam might open the Csound editor for your instrument or sequence. Once
 we have a more fully developed Develop Activity, we could default to that
 for activities that have no default. Not sure what View Source for Pippy
 would be...
