 First problem is that the activity groups on the wiki are not small
 enough. You have either to select Activity/G1G1 (20 activities) or
 Activity/All (60+ activities). The wiki team should create new smaller
 groups: Games, Multimedia, LearnAndFun, etc. And a small description
 field/category for each activity would help too. Without looking at the
 wiki, what does Frotz or X activity do?

 Second problem is that there is no Select All/Unselect All. If the
 activity you want to update/install is not in the small G1G1 group, you
 have to go through and deselect a lot of items!

 To speed up the unselection operation, you can click in the list, and use
 the space bar to select/unselect an item. Up and down keys move to other
 items in the list, but it does not scroll when the cursor goes out of
 sight. This is the third problem.
