Some points that should be considered during activity review, some activities could be removed at all.

Reasons for removing

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

Reasons for retaining or moving to the sandbox

  • Any confusion with already-published activities

A: Make difference more clear, obvious renaming, making notice in description, not launching activity, etc.

  • Buggy activities

If the activity is proving not starting or having serious functionality problems, should be retained and/or moved to sandbox.

A: Contact the maintainer Developer to notify 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 categories choice.
