<p>Hi Walter,</p>
<p>I have been working on an alternative 'aslolite' to ASLO which
will work on a schoolserver. This requires all of the activity
bundles be local. Access is by a simple web interface The entire
aslolite is < 5GB. If this space were available somewhere
online, I could share aslolite with the community. <br>
</p>
Users with an Ubuntu Sugar would download the folder (could be
tarball). From <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file://home/username/aslolite/index.html">file://home/username/aslolite/index.html</a> they can
browse all 514 activities, click on one of interest, which Browse
will download and install. The activity can be immediately launched
from the Home View. Bundles for activities in github were built by
setup.py from the repository. Others were downloaded directly from
ASLO. <br>
<br>
Current limitations are some missing icons, summary descriptions are
from ASLO and need the ones from activities with summarize in
activity.info. The update to TurtleBlocks-218 has not been made. If
it is ready, a bundle of MusicBlocks should be made and included.<br>
<br>
The activity tile does contains a help button for those activities
with Help.<br>
<br>
Aslolite should work from an XSCE server for an XO deployment.<br>
<br>

Tony's insistence on ASLO continues to amuse me.
Most distribution of<br>
activities now happens through bundles, tarballs,
and GitHub. ASLO is<br>
rarely used by distributors or indeed useful for
anything except<br>
personal searches for broken activities. Tony's
numbers make it<br>
plain. My own plan is to remove the link to
"activities" in Browse<br>
default page; plenty of disk space these days to
include all working<br>
activities in a build.<br>

<div>I am not a fan of the current activity server, but I am a
fan of having lots of activities for our users to explore
beyond the ones that were chosen for them. So it seems we
need some way for them to explore, even if deployments (and
deployers) feel otherwise.</div>
