We've always need extensive effort to keep activities working in the face of change to the libraries they use. Next up we have GConf to Gio.Settings and API changes in GStreamer. Possibly also NetworkManager. At this rate, expect those 87 to be 67 this time next year. It would be nice to say

Clearly my intent with the inventory is to identify those activities that are working (and in which environments). Hopefully, Caryl Bigenho's educational committee can get information from the users as to which of the non-working activities should have priority to bring back into working

Thanks, this will be useful for anyone deploying Sugar on Ubuntu 18.04. I think the best thing to do is to concentrate on the 87 working activities and keep them working. That will take about 50% of our effort for the next year. Then fix the activities that did work on the XO-1.5 with Fedora 18

Attahed is a spreadsheet inventory of the Sugar activities on ASLO. Except for clerical errors, this is accurate and complete as of mid-April, 2018. It reports on 537 activities. With a very nine exceptions, each activity has an xo bundle on ASLO (http://downloads.sugarlabs.org/activities).

I can't delete it, I don't have access. Only Ignacio does, and he's inactive these days. There's also https://github.com/sugarlabs-activities which has no people. No, I don't want everything in one bucket. I'd prefer GitLab over GitHub. The make a new ASLO does look like a NIH (not invented

If you believe it is trash, remove it. It is trash only in that there was no follow-up. You and Walter seem to want everything in one bucket. In the past few days I have spent a lot of time on github using search to find out if there is a repository for an activity. So, if you feel it is

Hi, Walter 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. It is really hard for me to see any connection

No surprise that this meeting didn't discuss an activity server or WikiPort, because (a) the questions were about a private mail (there was no link), and (b) the new term WikiPort is Vipul's name for the project. I interpret https://github.com/sugar-activities as trash left lying around by a
