Please read something about what SugarLabs community is doing. (We really have a big disconnection between support-gang/iaep and sugarlabs development)
http://developer.sugarlabs.org/web-architecture.md.html There are step by step howto, http://developer.sugarlabs.org/activity.md.html You will need a development environment, there are information here about how to do it: http://developer.sugarlabs.org/dev-environment.md.html Right now, "what is the minimal stuff I need to do activities" is not so easy to reply. You will need learn a lot, in fact, is easier create python activities than web activities, but the second can be used in android too.
