[Sugar-devel] wrong Activity versions for 8.2(.1) -- Etoys, Memorize, Terminal, Read, others

[Aleksey Lim]

I guess, its more complex issue then just updating wiki
(btw updating several wikis after bumping new version could be a pain
for activity author).

I think having one method for all distributions to get updates
is much attractive way, so I've proposed it for 0.86 roadmap[1].
