			==Inclusion criteria==
			There have been discussion of inclusion criteria over the years: i.e., which activities should be included in a Sugar distribution? I stumbled across this old post from October 2007 that still seems relevant. --[[User:Walter\|Walter]] 22:04, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

			15. Core activities: There has been a discussion on the devel list
			about the criteria for inclusion of core activities on the laptop.
			We'd like to broaden the discussion. Some proposed "Criteria for
			Inclusion":

			A. Epistemological impact—to what degree does this activity positively
			impact learning? (This is of course the most important criteria.)

			B. Fun—is it fun? engaging?

			C. Quality—is the activity sufficiently robust in its implementation
			that it will not compromise the integrity or supportability of the
			system? Is the overall quality of the implementation adequate to meet
			our standards? Can the community be engaged in the process of testing
			and "certifying" and maintaining the activity?

			D.Sugarized—to what extent has the activity been integrated into
			Sugar, including UI, Journal, security, internationalization, etc.?
			Does the activity require the folding in of additional libraries and
			resources? (This has impact on robustness—positive and
			negative—support, bloat, and the overall usability, aesthetics, and
			perception of quality of the machine.)

			E. FOSS—is the activity and all of its dependencies free and open?

			F. Extensible—is the activity something the community can extend? Does
			it span multiple needs? (And does it have—or the potential of
			having—an upstream community of support?)

			G. Uniqueness—does the activity add a unique feature to the core?

			H. Expectations—does the activity meet the expectations of (children,
			teachers, parents, G1G1 audience, etc.)?

			I. Discoverable—is the core activity discoverable? (This is not to say
			that it shouldn't be hard work to fully exploit the power of an
			activity, but it should have a low barrier to entry.)
