For now, in the branch, only the reversecount activity has been done as
proof of concept.
In the menu, we plan to replace the stars icons with the dataset name:
https://pasteboard.co/HSKeyND.png
On clicking on it, it will display the different datasets specific to this
activity and their objectives: https://pasteboard.co/HSKeiTW.png
(In the code, a dataset is inherited from qml object:
https://cgit.kde.org/gcompris.git/tree/src/core/Dataset.qml?h=multiple_dataset
and set inside the resource folder of the activity.)

Then, once one is chosen, we can click on the activity and play it as usual.

The aim is to adapt datasets to the skill of the children who are using
them. An activity may cover a few ages and the aim of it is to split the
learning curve. For example, if we take the multiplication activity, a
child who is just starting to learn multiplication tables will often only
learn during its first year the tables until 5, but GCompris multiplication
activity presents the tables from 1 to 9 from the beginning. It would be
great to split in 2 different datasets (maybe more).

Not yet to create its own datasets. The aim afterwards, would be to have a
server able to create and use datasets. But multiple_dataset is the first
step towards it.
