Ideas
- Support 0install by design
- use .xo format only if requested by user
- otherwise, activities should just start by click
- activities will be represented by regular 0install feeds
- more flexible dependency checking than on ASLO (currently, only SP version), if activity requires a recent gst to run, it just declares that gst version
- a variety of activity versions will be checked at runtime to detect what versions could be run on that particular machine before launching
- with 0launch (or with a special variant) it will be possible to run Library activities out of the Activity Library activity
- Support forks
- bundle_id should not be owned by any one developer. For the same bundle_id, there could be dozens of activities (and not only direct forks)
- No strict editors policy
- by default (or at least, there should be such an option), any user can launch any activity w/o additional steps (such as being logged in to ASLO)
- there could be review profiles. A user could apply such a profile to disperse all activities to reviewing groups, e.g., Featured, Major, Trash etc.
- such profiles could be also created for particular deployment and tested by QA teams
- Support 0install stability profiles, e.g., Stable, Development, Buggy
- Support local user profile, e.g.,
- use only Stable versions
- make my-favorite-developer's activities always show while using list
- One button click update, i.e., synchronize current activities with server's (taking into account
- Provide centralized stats that are easy-to-use by activity developers (option in activity.info), and easy-to-view by Activity Library users.
- counting successful/failed launches by SP level, could be useful to judge activity stability
- tracking average duration of use or number of launches, etc.
- Integrate Collab mockup features
- not all who share activities are activity developers
