    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>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>
