Good point. I'll expand my report in the next week or so and send out an update. I'll add those I didn't contact because they are staff/contractors of OLPC, as well as a list of those who didn't respond. (I'll ping them just to check if they forgot, or if they are no longer interested.) > Plus, my list of "interesting" Activities is longer than yours.

I contacted those who were using the git hosting. There are more activities on the wiki that don't use it. I'll expand my coverage when I have time to include those where I can find contact details. > It would also help if there were a compendium of contact information > available. As it is, one has to search in the Activity's wiki page. [For > instance, what is the address of the Map activity maintainer?] In the interests of not increasing their unsolicited mail, I'll refrain from posting my list of email addresses on the wiki, but this is a good point: it was not a trivial exercise to get the addresses together. I'll work on an expanded list of recommendations including a better way to publish contact details for activities. We still need a decent activity portal. I know a couple of people have looked at the codebase behind addons.mozilla.org, but that didn't get far yet.
