Ed was kind enough to create a quick template for this latest version of the Activity structure at the bottom of the
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh#Suggested_Activity_Chapter_Structure">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh#Suggested_Activity_Chapter_Structure</a> section which people can simply copy-paste into their newly created Activity sub-pages.<div>

<div><br></div><div>Personally I tend to believe that we should start thinking about locking this down as the canonical, full version for each Activity. Again, your milage may vary depending on the Activity and I don't think we should consider this to be the absolute law. But it's a good starting point and since it's day 2 of 5 we should stick to it and move on with writing text rather than discussing this for much more (at least that's my 2 eurocents).</div>

I do believe that this should be separate from the "Applying" or your "Learning with" (which I much prefer over "Applying").</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Cherry: Given that the content we produce here won't just be available in the form of the current Help Activity (but also on wiki pages, a possible print edition, an online version, etc.) the length of a menu in one of these options shouldn't dictate our content choices IMHO. Aside of that: Which sections do you think we should consolidate?</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Tony: Similarly to my comment to Cherry I think that the alternative you suggest might well be better suited for a specific artifact such as the print edition but I do think there's a value to having "<span>where to get it" and "reporting bugs"</span> on other artifacts such as w.l.o. Plus I also think that the "where to get it" information (most likely pointing towards ASLO) is useful as it's a place to get updates, etc. while the Control Panel's Update functionality isn't completely doing its job.</div>
