A slight follow up on the status of Activities that are currently
shipping with this release (feedback wanted):
Basic testing as working:
Abacus
Calculate
Chat
Log
Memorize
Physics
Pippy
Record
Speak
Terminal
Write
IRC

Activities with issues:
Browse (xulrunner/firefox issues)
Read (issues with gnome-python2-evince API changes/breakage)
TurtleArt (unknown - doesn't start)

If anyone is able to assist in the fixing of those 3 Activities I
would really appreciate it.
