			9) Systematically test compatibility of Activities given for various versions of Sugar

			When browsing http://activities.sugarlabs.org with the Browse activity, Activities are filtered by compatible versions. I.e. you are be automatically exposed to the version of the activity that is running fine on your system. But this is not always the case, either because an Activity developer/maintainer gave a wrong compatibility information, or because some other issue.

			The task is to (1) list versions of Sugar that needs to be tested for this (high priority first - e.g. Sugar on a Stick could be high on that list) and (2) test the most popular activities for these versions.

			When problems are encountered: 1) describe the problem (activity freezes, activity crash, etc.); 2) try to fix it; 3) report to the maintainer and the sugar-devel mailing list.

			The benefit for Sugar is to fix problems in this area. The benefit for the student is to draft and refine the testing procedure.

	There are a number of activities in [activities.sugarlabs.org ASLO] that are either English only or Spanish only. Each one could of these could be listed as an individual task to refactor for i18n and submit for Pootle hosting.

			This idea is being fleshed out so it can be broken into individual taks on this page [[Google_Code-In_2012/Activity_i18n]].
