<br>Loalization: Even when the interface is translated, you can't reliabily search using other languages. <br>If I search "Pintar" (Spanish for "Paint") I get "Paint Web", but not "Paint" activity.<br>
The same happen if you search "Tortuga" (Turtle) or "Escribir" (Write).<br>Looks like all the activities found are activities created by Spanish users, not sure what is the<br>inde3xing logic, but we have all the information about the translations in the .xo file<br>

<br>Compatibility: we request the developer to set the max and min sugar version compatible with the activity,<br>but is very common we (the developers) make mistakes with that.<br>Would be great if we can check these versions and keep it updated, <br>
we know gtk3 activities are compatible with 0.98 or newer,<br>web activities with 0.100 or newer,<br>and we can check if the activity import the old toolbars, the new toolbars or both.<br>Probably some other logic is neded, but I think would be enough to start. <br>

<br>Summary: We have the summary field in the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> file now,<br>should be great show it. In the end, I would like if we can get all the information we need<br>in the .xo file. <br>
We already have a feature proposed to have all the information needed to create distro packages<br>in the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> file <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Activity.info" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Activity.info</a><br>

<br>Dreaming a litle more, if we have the repository connected to the site, we could automatically<br>create testing .xo files, and mark them as stables in some way, I supopose.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well github lets you go to repo/archive/master.zip and get a copy. Since xo files are just zip files we could just use that. We would need to change their mime... but I think we can find a way!<br>
