Just wanted to ping on this item. I don't see "Activities online, in browsers!" as something achievable in other than some special Activity cases (EToys Activity could do it if we filtch their Java compiler, TurtleArt could do it if we build a JavaScript player for it, Colors playback could be done similarly; others could support viewing, Write, Paint, Labyrinth, Calculate, Chat, etc). I think what would be more viable, sort to mid term, would be a regular website design that used a Sugar like Journal metaphor to display/search entries uploaded by users (Aleksey has a number of features that may overlap quite nicely, here's one http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Server_Objects_Sharing) . The Journal uploads/publish would all have previews so at the very least folks would get to see a reasonable detail view (along with all the meta-data) while browsing. Some standard formats could allow direct viewing of material online (images, pdfs, text documents, movies, audio), along with any special players that may be possible (Etoys Java playback, or a TurtleArt javascript player).
