I have read your wiki page, and message, and I do not understand why you
think you cannot implement your goal as a standard activity.  Please
explain this, preferably on the wiki.  Also, please explain why you think
"this software will be run at all times in the classroom".

Sugar has a strong notion of what an Activity is, and that notion contains
several important constraints.  If parts of your proposal really cannot be
implemented within the constraints of an Activity, then they must be added
to Sugar itself.  You will need to make a strong case that these elements
are highly valuable.

In order to make any progress, you will have to be far more specific in
your goals.  For example, what is "Formulation of a problem statement with
the help of a few clicks into which images and text can be embedded"?
This sentence is so vague that it conveys no information at all.
