Here's my Activity specific testing run through of all the activities  
as currently installed by Activities/G1G1, a quick plea to Activity  
developers out there to update their links if they know a newer  
release works and should go with 8.2.1 (I've lots of other, much  
newer, versions that seem to work fine but have not made the auto  
update wiki page yet).

Tested on a clean (nand-copy) of a fresh 8.2.1 staging-7 on an XO-1,  
then a software update from the control panel (via a WEP access point).

No bugs filed or authors not directly pinged yet  for any of the below.
