[Sugar-devel] SoaS 3 Activity list

[Peter Robinson]

Hi All,

Having had some feedback on the proposal of shipping just 6 Activities
for SoaS 3 I'm modifying the proposal a little and increasing the
number to 10 [1]. Although this does come with some caveats and a
challenge to those out there that would like to see some more
included.

So the original proposal was the following list of Activities:
- browse
- physics
- turtleart
- irc
- log
- terminal

I'm proposing adding the following:
- Record
- Write
- Chat.
- Some sort of shareable game such as memorize

The reason for the above 4 is that they are a great demonstration of
the sharing and media capabilities of sugar, which I believe are some
of its best features, but I am open to suggestions.

So now to the caveat and challenge. They will only be included if they
are working, tested and are stable as I believe it only makes the
Sugar platform look bad if they don't work well. The challenge is for
everyone in the community to assist in making sure they are working,
tested and stable. If ultimately they aren't included its everyone to
blame because they weren't. I believe I may know what the issue with
Write is so I'll be looking that with the hope of it being fixed this
week. I look forward to seeing reports of them working well and being
tested as well as patches and bug reports when they do not :-)

[1] I could possibly increase this to 12 if my arm is twisted enough
on the same proviso that they are stable, tested and are a good
demonstration of the Sugar platform, work well on a netbook platform
and XOs
