[OLPC library] [IAEP] Fixing activities documentation for the new UI

[Holt]

Clustering a book sprint around (and including) the wkd of Apr 7/8 when 
several including myself, Christoph, Nancie S. etc should be in Boston, 
might make a ton of sense?

But others should speak up if they have better ideas!

As I'm spending a lot of time in Haiti these days and lost track of the 
rich world's schedules, but will happily join if 
Caryl/Christoph/Pablo/ALL driving forward enthusiasm to make this real =)
