A few brief thoughts: * a _general_ seamless 'launch activities by clicking URLs' facility is wholly incompatible with Bitfrost in the presence of highly privileged activities like our 'execution evironments': EToys, Pippy, etc. * _specialized_ seamless launch facilities can already be built on top of fixed data, e.g. by adapting the Browse codebase into new (fixed) Lesson-specific codebases. * a _general_ "seamful" 'launch activities with operator-chosen permissions' facility is highly desirable and should be pursued.
