Comment(by reuben):

 disagree

 I'd like to point out that CJB's set of criteria does not include
 sugarization (1). I also do not believe the test for inclusion should be:
 is this program sugarized or not but rather does the activity provide
 increased value to the XO. However, I realize "value" is subjective.

 If sugarization is a requirement then why are we including Scratch?
 Scratch, by the way, is by far one of the most often demoed activities we
 have on the XO.

 Reasons to include GCompris (2) :

 -It was one of the activities most discussed and requested in the
 respective thread on devel.

 -Our largest deployment includes it in their build. Which means over one
 third of the XO-1 laptops built uses, GCompris.

 -On the first page of 20 popular activities at ASLO, a GCompris activity
 is listed 6 times(3).
