<div dir="ltr">Sam,<div><br></div><div>This is a promising work. I will do my personal observations.</div><div>but don't take it wrong, is a good start, and more important,</div><div>you are the only brave who is trying to accomplish this big and difficult task.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My main concerns are:</div><div><br></div><div>* scalability: some things work with 10 items but not 500.</div><div>ASLO have almost 500 activities right now.</div><div>By example, a single json file for 500 activities is not a good idea,</div>

<p dir="ltr">Here is my kind of progress report on the new ASLO:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> * Updater - <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/389" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/389</a><br>
* Web Interface is faster -<a href="http://www.aslo.cf" target="_blank">http://www.aslo.cf</a><br>
* The blog now has a tutorial on adding your activity - <a href="http://www.aslo.cf/blog/adding-your-activity/" target="_blank">http://www.aslo.cf/blog/adding-your-activity/</a><br>
* New login system, with XO avatars</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyway, I'd really appreciate feedback. Just a few questions:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> * Does everyone hate the blog?<br>
* Is it nausea inducing?<br>
* Is it really hard to use?<br>
* Does anyone know the internals of trac? Somebody thought it would be cool to integrate it with <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">bugs.sugarlabs.org</a> and I agree.<br>
* Does it crash a XO1? XO1.5? XO1.75? It doesn't crash an XO4 =)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Come on - "...this is a change that deserves be discussed as a feature" (Gonzalo). </p>
