Who should be an editor ?

Removing, reviewing, removing activities

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

Please define retaining in this context. Is it locked from distribution, but kept on server? --FGrose 20:07, 17 February 2011 (EST)
  • 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 to not start or is having serious functionality problems, it should be retained and/or moved to the 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 category choice.
