[IAEP] non-free activities on ASLO

[dfarning at gmail.com]

There is a growing ecosystem of non-free activities for the sugar and the .xo .  Is there an official policy on hosting non-free activities on activities.sugarlabs.org?

There is significant value in creating a one stop shop for sugar activities.  Yet, hosting non-free activities might not be the direction Sugar Labs should go.  One option for handling this is the http://marketplace.eclipse.org/

I am interested in establishing a 'market-place' for sugar activities.  It would seem that we have three choises:
1. We can work to incorporate it into the existing also instance.  Limited firewall between commercial and non-commercial portions of the project.
2. We can establish a second instance of aslo called marketplace.sl.org - This establishes a firewall between the non-commercial and non-commercial parts of the project. It also leverages and builds up the Sugar name.
3. I, or others, can establish third party markets independent of activities.sl.org.

I would appreciate feedback from the community and the oversight board about this issue.  This is no longer a theoretical issue as the two most commonly searched for sugar activities are _not_ on ASLO.
