We just had this discussion with Kim yesterday.  IMO, we should
maintain a process/database for countries to track the activity packs
they've used in deployments, so that we can find out which versions of
activities went where.  G1G1 is a subset of this problem.  Chris'
activity pack build script works from the official package repos,
IIRC, so Dennis is still 'maintaining' the official activity versions
via checking them in there.

I don't know that there have been updates to that one yet.

Yes, but probably not "officially" until the August release.  It's
certainly on our roadmap, which means that maybe I should get around
to writing such a thing.
