Comment:

 We recently stripped the code from the Journal which attempted to
 intelligently append some text ("Activity") to every bundle.  It still
 does, however, append "Activity" to the default titles.  As such, we
 currently have "Chat" (the bundle) and "Chat Activity" (the instance).
 Perhaps it would be clearer to label instances "Chat Instance" instead,
 but I think we do ''not'' want to append anything at all to the bundle
 itself.  I would make Develop create bundles which simply use the
 specified name and nothing else.

 The distinguishing characteristic of a bundle will be its visual
 representation, as a gray outline with no fill/no color, which will
 represent its place as a template for creating instances from.  In
 Develop's case, I think it's OK to treat every bundle in this fashion,
 since even though they represent the "project state", they also represent
 a template to create an instance from.

 Here's the commit which cleans this up: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p
