actvities.sugarlabs.org
has filters of edition, wikis are designed to be fully open,  but in our
case could be dangerous, there are examples like doom, these violent games
with the availability to be downloaded  as  activities generate controversy
among teachers and parents (and also high the alarms between education
officials of countries).

Also people can put non-free activities there which we cannot distribute.
Other advantage is that ASLO is controlled by the same activity authors not
by third parties.
