== Roadmap ==
The upstream is in process of switching to new AMO code base, django based (python based framework). We need to do the same. So, the plan is:
* Reimplement current ASLO patch to do the exactly the same in new AMO
* Add new but not breaking current behaviour:
** Upload by one click
** Experimental support of [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Doers_environment#Sugar_doers_workflow bundle-less] activities
The plan is having new ASLO ready for broad, pre-production testing,
until [[Platform_Team/Roadmap|2011-04-06]].
=== Upload by one click ===
The only that will be required is just uploading a .xo to the server.
All needed metadata will be fetched from the bundle:
* activity.info, activity metadata
* NEWS, release notes
* po/, translation of activity.info fields
=== Bundle-less activities ===
Excluding network-less environments, the only thing anyone should know
about any activity, to run it from anywhere, is an unique Web url.
It is based on [http://0install.net/goals.html 0install] project. Network based nature, though, does
not mean the it will be useless w/o the net. It will be possible
to make selfcontained bundle by packaging activity itself and all its
dependencies to one .xo.
