<br>
The criteria are listed at the top of the page.<br>
<br>
This is a table matrix on the wiki in a sortable and editable form.<br>
It is also unmaintained since Nov 2010...: (<br>
<br>
Thus newer activities and sugar versions are missing.<br>
It would be nice if we could organize volunteers to do testing of
activities, and report them in this manner.<br>

<div>This one is quite a tough one, activities are distributed
across a seemingly grey continuum, from non-responding authors,
to authors who release in time with the Sugar release schedules.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The term 'working' also needs careful definition given the
wide variety of distros and hardware that Sugar can be run under
(testing platform usually at the discretion of the maintainer).
This alone would be quite a large matrix. With an Activity Team
hat on, we should focus on polishing and maintaining the core of
the known quality learning activities, to act as leading lights,
and encouraging other developers to follow where there time
allows. The whole 'let a thousand flowers bloom' metaphor
unfortunately leads to the vast majority being left to compost.</div>

<br>
Excluding or obfuscating popular activities only makes ASLO a
less handy service.<br>
<br>
At any rate, at the point where the ASLO software says to an
uploader "that file already exists in our databsae" it should
be able to show that person the metadata related to the file:
who has uploaded it, why it is not visible, &c.<br>

<div>Activities without maintainers seem like a spiral

hide all activities without a confirmed, named,

Actually if the license permits it, there
isnt a necessity to await confirmation by
original author, although it would be nice
to ask, IMHO<br>
