Activity Library/Editors/Policy/Non-Technical

Who can be an editor ?

Any sugar learner should and can be an editor of the Activity Library, we only advise that the editor can't be the same developer of the activity, this is truth for not-trusted activities. (see definitions bellow)

• Trusted Activities

These are activities that don't need an editor approval for publicize new updated versions.

• Not-trusted Activities

These are activities that need an editor approval in order to publicize new updated versions of the activities

Maintained activities are entitled to be trusted, and all activities that fulfill technical and non-technical policies can be trusted.

Removing, reviewing, sandboxing activities

Some points that should be considered during activity review, some activities may be entirely removed.

Reasons for removing

• inappropriate (violent, sexual, subversive) content
• inappropriate license, see Oversight Board meeting notes for details.

Reasons for keeping or moving to the Sandbox

Activities that are experimental are kept in Activity's Library sandbox (i.e., only registered users can download them).

• Any confusion with already-published activities
  

A: Make the difference more clear, by obvious renaming, providing notice in the description, or not launching activity, etc.

• Buggy activities
  

If the activity is proving to not start or is having serious functionality problems, it should be moved to the sandbox or removed.

A: Contact the maintainer or Developer to notify them of the issue.

• • At the same time we should stimulate experiments, changing existing activities and, very importantly, sharing results of these experiments. A new ASLO code base might support having several implementations ("forks" might be too hard a word for them) of the same activity. Need to think how this can be achieved.

• Obvious misuse of categories, e.g., FireFox activity in Teaching tools
  

A: Contact the uploader to clarify the category choice.
