Gary, Would you mind holding an activities team meeting next week?
It looks like we are getting pretty close to consensus on: 1. How to move forward with updating activities via ASLO. We should at least put it on a roadmap so we can synchronize our work and expectations. 2. Reduce redundant information on w.sl.o, w.lt.o and ASLO. Factors to consider are: Expectations of existing user base. Update mechanism at existing deployments. Reduce overall confusion. Reduce workload on activity developers. Scalability of solution. thanks david On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 8:06 PM, Gary C Martin<g...@garycmartin.com> wrote: > Hi James, > > On 18 Jun 2009, at 15:28, James Simmons wrote: > >> David, >> >> I am doing that now, but the page I'm pointing to is the one on >> wiki.laptop.org.
