I made a proposal on the Activities talk page the other day, which suggests organizing activities into Featured and Extra, with some Featured activities also being Supported by the OLPC team. <br><br>This would allow activities which are feature complete and relatively bug free to be distinguished from those that are not finished and/or not working, without creating the impression that OLPC maintains all activities.<br>

Part of the confusion is terminology. If by pre-installed, you mean<br>
part of the OS image, then the only pre-installed activity is the<br>
Journal, and that only because Sugar doesn't really work without<br>
(yet). But the activity bundle that will be included with the OS image<br>
has "pre-installed" by default all of the activities that were<br>
included since 650.<br>
