Hi,
Since the children are accustomed to looking for items to download in
the library, it seemed better not to introduce a new mechanism for
activities.
I tried targeting the activity-server to look at the school server and
not the internet, but the requirements for storing the activities on the
school server were not obvious and I haven't really had time to pursue it.
Django is a simple way to proceed (see Pathagar, for example).

I placed the activities in the library on the school server -Django app.
Browse downloads a selected activity. Users can erase unneeded
activities to manage storage (they can always be installed again).
The updater is not really needed since the model is that the deployment
updates the server annually before school starts. This seems reasonable
since most activity updates relate to changes in the Sugar environment
which also would be updated annually.
Any reason your not using the XS's built-in activity server?[1] Seems
like a better way of using the built-in[2] software on the XO which
looks for the schoolserver for activities to be updated by default
without adding anything new to the XS except for the newer activities.
It was reported at one time that the underlying model (Firefox add-ons)
was moving to Django and that ASLO would do so also. If that happens, it
would be easy to remount on a SS.

Not knocking your implementation just wondering why use Django as you
could still browse to the activities at: http://schoolserver/activities/

Has anyone looked into running an offline copy of
activities.sugarlabs.org on a server that isn't on the Internet (a la
XS)?
What would be do-able except sugar's activity updater on the XO would
select every activity for installation by default[1].
