+1, but you'll notice Read is not in the 6 proposed base activities included... It is listed in the kickstart file, commented out, under a section titled "These are Activities that aren't quite there, but are important, so we're going to encourage people to test them." I've not seen any track tickets yet for why Read is not up to par.

I wish I had more time to help out, but what time I can spare goes to Sugar/Activities upstream, not distro platform and packaging issues.
