Informally, we have such a list from Peru, which is our largest Sugar
deployment. They use a core set of activities and have expressed the
desire to see that set (a) reach a level of increased stability; and
(b) run reliably on newer versions of Sugar so that the upgrade
transition runs more smoothly (they are running 0.82 for the most part
on F9 and had originally asked in regard to transitioning from 707 to
802). Helping track down open tickets with any activities on this list
would be of great benefit.

The list comes from Hernan Paches:
org.laptop.Chat
org.laptop.WebActivity
org.laptop.AbiWordActivity
org.laptop.RecordActivity
org.laptop.Oficina
org.laptop.TamTamMini
org.vpri.EtoysActivity

Back to Mark's original question, there are a few additional areas
that need work as well, depending upon interest and experience. There
is, for example, lots of help needed in working on some of the new
features proposed for Sugar 0.88 (See
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features).

But as Ed mentioned at the top of the thread, hanging out in
irc.freenode.net #sugar is a great place to start.

regards.
