The activities directory has a numbered directory for each
activity such as 4024. This scheme was apparently based on
Mozilla's design for the add-on feature to Firefox. The number
associated with a specific activity is arbitrary - probably based
on when the activity was added to ASLO. It has nothing to do with
version number. James Cameron went to point releases (there is
nothing in the software to prevent that - the number is a string).
He says it was because he didn't know how to update ASLO at the

I think the stored bundle should always be
browse-200.xo. The latest is determined by the highest
version number among those in the addon directory. This
way no administrative step is needed when a new version
is released - it just needs to be put in the directory.
So the structure would be: <br>
<br>
<a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/4024/browse-200.xo" target="_blank">download.sugarlabs.org/4024/br<wbr>owse-200.xo</a>.
Programmers seem to be culturally impelled to use a
version number to convey all kinds of information. My
favorite is Sugar which went from 0.98 to 0.100. THe
only case I know of where 0.96 < 0.100. One of my
attractions to Sugar was the refreshing decision to
start activity versions with 1 and increment by 1 for
each next version. Note that the file name of the bundle
is browse-200.xo but the bundle is stored in
activities/4024/.<br>

I should have given you more help with the static setup
- it is one of Django's more irritating tasks. For
historical reasons, my file system is structured <br>
<br>
/library/schoolsite/static containing directories: admin
css icons image js <br>
Django then supports a simplified reference: img
src='/static/icons/{{ json.icon }}'></img><br>
<br>
where /static refers to /library/schoolsite/static.
Schoolsite is the Django project, static/ is defined in
the settings:<br>
<br>
STATIC_URL = '/static/'<br>
STATICFILES_DIR = (<br>
'/library/schoolsite/static/',<br>
)<br>
<br>
If you get that right, the images should appear in your
display. As I said, you can diagnose problems by (in

view image info.) In your version: /static/ can be any
name you want to give to your static files (js, css,

<div>Sticking to integer version number is the
easiest way to handle this. So that we have
following structure <a href="http://aslo.sugarlabs.org/activities/browse/157" target="_blank">aslo.sugarlabs.org/activities/<wbr>browse/157</a>
or <a href="http://aslo.sugarlabs.org/activities/browse/157" target="_blank">aslo.sugarlabs.org/activities<wbr>/browse/latest/</a> which
will always point to latest. If we decide to use
a standard way for float version numbers then
something like this can be done (as long as all
stick to same version format) <a href="http://aslo.sugarlabs.org/activities/browse/157" target="_blank">aslo.sugarlabs.org/act<wbr>ivities/browse/157/3.0</a>/ </div>

developing new Aslo or improve/fork Sam's

I have had some apparent malware problems with

Attached is a python script which separates
the jsons within update.json to separate
jsons, one per line. The line is still long
but it is easier to see what is going on. I
just did ctrl+a on the text at the url and
copied to a file updatejson. The output is a
file jsons. The script assumes the source file
is in the same directory and writes json to
the same directory.<br>
<br>
jsons shows 49 activities.<br>
<br>
This is the last one:<br>
<br>
{"xo_url": "<a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/activities2/in.seeta.Deducto_v9.xo" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://download.sugarlabs.org<wbr>/activities2/in.seeta.Deducto_<wbr>v9.xo</a>",
"xo_size": 245277, "version": 9,
"minSugarVersion": "0.86"}<br>
<br>
So each one has a url, size, version, and
minimum version (oldest version on which the
activity works).<br>
<br>
Sam Parkinson created a separate directory for
his bundles (activities2). His bundle names
are quite different from standard practice.<br>
'in.seeta.Deducto is the bundle_id whereas we
use the activity name. The size is the bundle
size not the installed size. The
minSugarVersion is presumably the earliest
version of Sugar on which the activity works
(and that it works on all subsequent
versions). I have no idea how this can be
tested.<span class="m_-7487769400172819252m_-8691543904081375930HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
