[Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 65, Issue 3

[Tony Anderson]

Hi,

Just for perspective. The approach which I have taken is to install the 
activities from ASLO in the library. Any XO connected to the library can 
select an activity to be downloaded and installed. If storage becomes a 
problem, an unused activity can be deleted locally.
