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.
I am referring to https://aslo3-devel.sugarlabs.org (I see James
answered you while I was typing this.)
looks like

It is really hard for me to see any connection between
activity.info <http://activity.info> and an activity service
(which supplies information about activities and downloads the
bundle on request).I assume these consistency tests are made
before a new activity version is released and is part of the
process of creating a github repository.
The database for ASLO3 is derived from the activity.info
<http://activity.info> files. But those data need cleaning up. This is
why we have not gone live with the new server.
The python script can use a loop on the list of bundles:
for activity in activities:
#use zipfile to read the activity.info <http://activity.info>
file
#count or test for any property
#report (e.g. print ) result of test by activity
#report summary of loop execution
I do not have any idea of what you are referring to by a
screenshot. I certainly hope there is no intent to add a
screenshot to an activity bundle. It may be fun to revel in
storage available on a PC but the overwhelming number of our users
have XO laptops with very limited storage. This is similar to the
trend to make Sugar more dependent on the internet. For example,
sudo apt-get install sucrose is difficult to accomplish in a room
with 40 laptops and no internet, the current situation in Rwanda
with the Positivo laptop.
We use screenshots in the activity portal. They need not be included
in the bundles.

This particular discussion was about activity.info
<http://activity.info> because the student is working on getting
the activity server on line and cleaning up the activity.info
<http://activity.info> files is an essential step.
I interpret https://github.com/sugar-activities as an attempt
to provide a separate place for Sugar activity repositories
based on download.sugarlabs.org/activities
<http://download.sugarlabs.org/activities>. The number of
activities mentioned is consistent with the current content
of ASLO. (see http://activities.sugarlabs.org/activities/)
Yes. We have an on-going effort to migrate to a new activity
server which is both easier to maintain and a richer experience
for our users.
A simple python script can process the activity.info
<http://activity.info> in activity bundles very quickly.
Simply download every activity bundle and then use import
zipfile to read the activity.info <http://activity.info> file
and check it for whatever is interesting. I generally use ls
-1 *.xo > list to create a file. The python script can easily
form a list of activities from this file.
We are concerned about a number of inconsistencies with the data,
including license, summary, screen shots, etc.
