I tried to do this in :

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Soas_V4/ASLOxo_Activity_Test_Table#Activity_Test_Results

The criteria are listed at the top of the page.

This is a table matrix on the wiki in a sortable and editable form.
It is also unmaintained since Nov 2010...: (

Thus newer activities and sugar versions are missing.
It would be nice if we could organize volunteers to do testing of activities, and report them in this manner.

* unmaintained or dormantly-maintained but working activities

This one is quite a tough one, activities are distributed across a seemingly grey continuum, from non-responding authors, to authors who release in time with the Sugar release schedules.

The term 'working' also needs careful definition given the wide variety of distros and hardware that Sugar can be run under (testing platform usually at the discretion of the maintainer). This alone would be quite a large matrix. With an Activity Team hat on, we should focus on polishing and maintaining the core of the known quality learning activities, to act as leading lights, and encouraging other developers to follow where there time allows. The whole 'let a thousand flowers bloom' metaphor unfortunately leads to the vast majority being left to compost.

* activities that can be freely distributed but are not [confirmed to be] under a free-software license * links to activities that are freely available online (somewhere) but may not be freely distributable (from an aslo server)

Excluding or obfuscating popular activities only makes ASLO a less handy service.

At any rate, at the point where the ASLO software says to an uploader "that file already exists in our databsae" it should be able to show that person the metadata related to the file: who has uploaded it, why it is not visible, &c.

    +1

    Activities without maintainers seem like a spiral to the bottom
    of the quality bucket - I'd personally not want to recommend the
    ASLO site to a teacher if we were knowingly promoting and
    uploading unmaintained activities. As an Open Source license
    (required by ASLO) allows anyone to potentially pick up
    maintenance, perhaps ASLO could be tweaked to hide all activities
    without a confirmed, named, maintainer by default?

        Actually if the license permits it, there isnt a necessity

        be nice to ask, IMHO

                It's ok uploading those to aslo, if they have OSI

            Ok. The "importants" are in ASLO.. maybe there are some
            that not..

            I could test some and upload them. But corresponds me
            to do that? I do not want to override the original
            developers ..


        it's necessary to ask first the original devs.
