[OLPC-Jamaica] Creating an activity

[Sameer Verma]

An "activity" is an application in Sugar parlance. The thinking is
that an activity is verb-centric rather than say, Microsoft Word,
which is noun-centric. Children understand verbs better, so we call
them activities. Common examples in Sugar are: Write, Read, Chat,
Record, Paint, etc.

If you plan on working on an activity you should take a look at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creating_an_activity and get familiar with
the concept.
