I was hoping to get abacus in but ctyler hasn't finished the package
review and ignores my emails. I'll bother him today on irc

For Activities I've been basically working on 3 main requirements 1)
it works and is actively maintained 2) its part of the core
sucrose/fructose Activities 3) its packaged in Fedora. There are
exceptions to that which are included vaguely along the lines of that
they are well maintained, popular and are good for demonstrations.
Physics is one of these, Abacus was also going to be one of these as
its a good demo for an easy to hack on Activity.
