FYI, Chris, To also help make the 'official' Activity Pack(s) (or bundled activities, or whatever final terminology), I've tried to start a 'clear and written' list of such mentioned Activities.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/G1G1_bundled_activities with a similar vein of thought, started another brainstorm.... for a main deployment coming up http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Peru_bundled_activities This pattern could continue for each deployment... countries.... specific target users... etc... And I wonder in the future, 'xo-get' script could auto-magically key off these pages to create a useful tool like... # xo-get upgrade G1G1_activity_pack (i.e. # xo -get upgrade [DeploymentName]_activity_pack) which would just take the latest list from the wiki page http://wiki.laptop.org/go/[DeploymentName]_activity_pack<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/%5BDeploymentName%5D_activity_pack> Both of the first two pages I listed above, has already gotten some great updates by several people, and recent revisions answer a lot of questions, I had on what is or is not included in those deployments. :-) Take a gander yourself, and offer your thoughts....
