[IAEP] [support-gang] Fixing activities documentation for the new UI

[Pablo Flores]

Making a documentation sprint in April in Boston sounds good. However, it
wouldn't solve most of OLPC-Australia problem, as they want to start
training teachers for the new versions in March.

I wonder if some people from Australia, New Zeland and other Pacific
countries may be interested in doing a documentation sprint before that...

Saludos,
Pablo Flores
