	~~== Features ==~~		You can view it live here: http://128.199.197.37/

	~~Here is a rundown from the mailing list:~~		== Current ASLO Feature Parity ==

	~~[We] need start with~~ the ~~features~~ the ~~actual~~ ASLO ~~have~~:		Here are the important things the current ASLO has that the new one has too:

	* Stores every version of a activity ~~(.xo, release notes, screenshots).~~		* Stores every version of the activity
	~~Added that~~		* Shows the user the latest compatible version
			* Can search by title or description
	* Can search by ~~text~~ or ~~activity~~ description ~~(English only)~~		* Users can comment and add stars
	~~Yep.~~ The search ~~is even done client side so~~ it is ~~(almost~~) ~~instant.~~		* Activities in categories
			* i18n ui
	* ~~UI localized~~
	~~I have~~ that ~~feature~~, ~~but no translations~~ :)		'''Still ToDo'''

	* ~~Activities have categories~~		* The update manager in the system settings
	~~I will add that~~. I~~'m not~~ really ~~sure what categories~~ to ~~do, maybe these: http://jsfiddle.net/H5sAH/2/ (I tried~~ to ~~base it off~~ the ~~ASLO but the ASLO's categories IMHO are pretty confusing~~)?
	~~Also maybe put the categories in~~ a categories field in activity.info?		== New Features ==

	* Users can add comments and stars		=== For Users ===
	~~Yep~~.
			* Nicer ui - just in my own opinion
	* ~~Offer the last activity version available based on the user Sugar version~~ (~~if use Browse activity~~)		* No more reloads - the activities detail pages load almost instantly
	~~etc~~		* Localised search - users can search in their own language
	~~Just did that.~~		* 'Instant' search - it is very fast :)
			* A comment system that lets people to actually discuss activities - they can post ideas, questions, reviews and bug reports. Any user can then post a reply to the post and then somebody can reply to the reply.........
	~~[You] can add the new features we need:~~		* '''Not yet implemented:''' Connect B.SL.O with the ASLO - Let people post bug reports is a really easy way

	* ~~support i18n~~ (~~search in languages different than English~~)		=== For Developers ===
	~~Yep, got that.~~
			* Github integration - a webhook can be connected with github which can build and update the activities listing automatically (see the technical description below)
	* ~~make easier publish a new version~~		* Communication with their users - they can talk over the comments system (in real time even). I really need to add email notifications so this can work better
	* automatic publish of development versions with github hooks		* No more references to firefox addons in random corners of the site :)
	I think so. I'~~ve probably also made~~ it ~~a pain to not use github hooks~~ :)
			== Activity Categories ==
	* bugs reports? (will create bus in bugs.sugarlabs.~~org?)~~
	~~That is~~ a ~~good idea! Maybe let developers choose between that and~~ github ~~issues?~~		The new ASLO adds a ''categories'' field in the activity.info. It is a space separated list of categories.

	* improve communication with the ~~developers?~~		The current categories are (with their name for the activity.info):
	~~Well~~ the ~~aslo2 has lost all references to firefox :~~)
	Also ~~I have replies~~ in ~~that comments which let developers~~ or ~~community members reply, and I should add~~ email ~~notifications~~.		* Games (game)
			* Programming (programming)
			* Internet (internet)
			* Science (science)
			* Maths (maths)
			* Geography (geography)
			* Office (office)
			* Tools (tools)
			* System (system)

			Please tell me what you think about these.

			== Help Us --- Translate it! ==

			'''Warning, the strings are unstable - you should wait before you translate'''

			Here it is, step by step:

			1. Make a copy of this file: https://github.com/SAMdroid-apps/aslo/blob/master/web/locales/dev/translation.json
			2. Translate the values (the things on the right of the colons)
			3. Save the translated file in /web/locales/en_US/translation.json (replace en_US with your language)
			4. Also save it in the general language folder (without the country code). eg: /web/locales/en/translation.json
			5. Send me a pull request (or an email)
			6. BE HAPPY :)

SAMdroid: Added info about features

Added info about features

 The data about the activities is stored in a json file. This json file is available via GitHub (currently https://github.com/SAMdroid-apps/sugar-activities). This is served with the correct content type here: http://aslo-bot-master.sugarlabs.org/data.json

Added a page about the ASLO2 idea

New page

The aslo2 is a hypothetical revision of the aslo site that brings new features. This pages discusses them.

You can find the code here: https://github.com/SAMdroid-apps/aslo/

== JSON Backend ==

The data about the activities is stored in a json file. This json file is available via GitHub (currently https://github.com/SAMdroid-apps/sugar-activities). This is served with the correct content type here: http://aslo-bot-master.sugarlabs.org/data.json

== Activity Buildbots ==

The aslo2 integrates a lot with GitHub. It offers a web hook for which the activity can be automatically built and listing data extracted.

Here is a diagram of the network:

GitHub ----Hook-Request----> Bot Master <----Activity-Data------.
^ | ^------Request-For-Task---> Bots
|-----Data-Committed---------|

Here is a list of data sorces for the activity listing:

* Title, Summary - activity.info for en-US and po/LANG.po for the translations
* Screenshots - /screenshots/LANG/NAME.png
* What's New - NEWS.LANG (NEWS defaults to en-US). Use this format https://github.com/ignaciouy/chat/blob/af7bbc9b8036fb7252cf21cd6a2e6d545a42ed5d/NEWS
* Compatibility - Robots reading through your code :)
* Authors - You need to do that manually
* Bundle - Automatically compiled by the robots

== Commenting ==

Here are a few points:

* Live updating - via websockets
* Replying to comments
* 4 comment types: bug, question, idea and rating

== Design / UX ==

[[User:SAMdroid|SAMdroid]] ([[User talk:SAMdroid|talk]]) I think it looks nicer. You compare: http://imgur.com/C4oxFtS

It is a html5 site with ajax, rather than just server side pages.
