[Systems] API for activities.sugarlabs.org?

[Pablo Flores]

Ok. So, putting in black & white we have 2 choices:

*Choice 1*: ceibalJAM keeps using its own Activities publishing interface.

   - Develop an API so that new activities and updates go automatically to
   ASLO
   - In this case we don't need a new locale ES_UY, as we can use our own
   rating system (disconnected from ASLO or not). We also wouldn't need a
   single sign on system.

*Choice 2*: Redirect to ASLO for uploading or updating Activities

   - Implement a single sign on system
   - Create a locale ES_UY, to filter easily local reviews and statistics.
   Would not have the chance to see local rating averages for activities
   - Filter ceibalJAM Activities with a collection
   - Would keep sugarlabs look & feel. At most we could add a ceibalJAM
   frame at the top

Did I miss something important?

Choice 1 seems to be much easier and intuitive. Anyway, in this moment we
are having a big discussion on how to go on and maintain our portal. From
this discussion we may define which direction to choose...

Saludos,
Pablo Flores
