Hi all,
Let me finalize this What tags we should use for GCompris/Fructose/etc
discussion :)
New AMO version and incoming ASLO v3 version have collections feature
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections
I think we can move tags GCompris and Fructose(Core, etc) to collections
ultimately, the question is: are there (or not) Activities common to
every, or nearly every instance of Sugar?

etc.

hmmm thanks Martin for that
I guess I'm confused because for me, a set of demo Activities is not
at all the same thing as baseline Activities included in every Sugar
deployment.
I mean, to demonstrate online collaboration, I could choose a fancier
or more advanced Activity than might be on a

I agree they're not exactly the same, but I think that's probably

Bert - many thanks, I understand much better now.
We're expecting a traffic peaks at the end of the month with our media
push, that's why this work on clarity/simplicity is important.
I'm afraid Fructose as a left-hand category on ASLO is obscure, it
really should be base or core or base

Sean,
I had another thought. Activities can be included in up to three
categories on ASLO. So, in addition to GCompris we could also have a
Core category (or Pre-Installed or some other agreed upon phrase)
that would include all the Activities that are installed by default.
This would
I think that's a great idea - will be very helpful in identifying the

i don't mind trying to write the instructions if someone else can edit

It'd be great if the classifications found happened to, or could be
easily made to, be sensibly related to the classifications used for
