<p>Hi, Walter</p>
<p>Is there a link to a description of the proposed new server? I
assume that what you mean is that a new physical server will
become host to ASLO. Naturally, I am much more interested in the
capabilities of the service than the server.<br></p></div></blockquote><div>I am referring to <a href="https://aslo3-devel.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">https://aslo3-devel.sugarlabs.org</a> (I see James answered you while I was typing this.)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p>

<p>It is really hard for me to see any connection between
<a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> and an activity service (which supplies information
about activities and downloads the bundle on request).I assume
these consistency tests are made before a new activity version is
released and is part of the process of creating a github
repository.<br></p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The database for ASLO3 is derived from the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> files.

</p>
<p>The python script can use a loop on the list of bundles:<br>
</p>
<p>for activity in activities:</p>
<p> #use zipfile to read the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> file <br>
</p>
<p> #count or test for any property <br>
</p>
<p> #report (e.g. print ) result of test by activity<br>
</p>
<p>#report summary of loop execution<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
I do not have any idea of what you are referring to by a screenshot.
I certainly hope there is no intent to add a screenshot to an
activity bundle. It may be fun to revel in storage available on a PC
but the overwhelming number of our users have XO laptops with very
limited storage. This is similar to the trend to make Sugar more
dependent on the internet. For example, sudo apt-get install sucrose
is difficult to accomplish in a room with 40 laptops and no
internet, the current situation in Rwanda with the Positivo laptop.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We use screenshots in the activity portal.

as an attempt to provide a separate place for Sugar activity
repositories based on <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/activities" target="_blank">download.sugarlabs.org/activities</a>.
The number of activities mentioned is consistent with the
current content of ASLO. (see <a class="m_-2112082978992864051gmail-m_-5133746404981211689m_7598067350644677102m_5563331910521887338moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/activities/" target="_blank">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/activities/</a>)<br>

<div>Yes. We have an on-going effort to migrate to a new activity
server which is both easier to maintain and a richer experience
for our users.</div>

<p>A simple python script can process the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> in activity
bundles very quickly. Simply download every activity bundle
and then use import zipfile to read the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> file and check it
for whatever is interesting. I generally use ls -1 *.xo >
list to create a file. The python script can easily form a
list of activities from this file. <br>

<div>We are concerned about a number of inconsistencies with the
