 Replying to [ticket:1628 marco]:

 After a content/activities meeting with Walter, the list of base
 activities for Trial-2 is designated by the 'Y' in the 'base' column. But,
 having said that, we need to prioritize these in case some are not ready
 for Trial-2.

 I have made the 'Y' bold for the high priority activities and added notes
 about whether the activity will be represented by a sugar icon at start
 up. Here is a list as of today (5/31/07):

  Browse
  Write
  Chat (not necessarily a sugar icon; can be initiated from mesh)
  Paint
  Camera
  Etoys
  TamTam

 Also, collaboration for some activites is very high on the priority list.
 Games (block party and connect) are not on the list for 'base' product. We
 need to have an easy access page for adding on these items as they are
 great for demos, etc.

 The other 'Y's in the table should be in the product at a lower priority,
 and many of them do not have a representative icon in the start up sugar
 task bar. (Walter wants to keep the number of icons in the base product to
 <10.)

 Instead of keeping a bug open for this, I would like to recommend that
 everyone refer to the 'Activities' wiki page as the source list of what we
 want in Trial-2. Will that work?


 > I think we should make a call about which activities we ship with
 Trial-2. It will be possible to install additional activities from the web
 with a couple of clicks.
