hulahop and the newsreader and web activities are up in the archive, 
making a total of 10 activities plus the mandatory journal activity at 
this point.

While newsreader mostly works, the browser freezes. Since that is what I 
got from jhbuild too I am not sure what is as fault there.

Regarding trial-3 vs trunk:

should I stop following trunk and keep the packages at trial3 level? I 
realize most changes do not get in trial because code freeze is in 
effect not because the break APIs. If the API exposed to activities does 
not change I'd rather follow git head with sugar, datastore, presence 
and journal. Thoughts?

Also I got camera-activity  from 
http://mediamods.com/public-svn/camera-activity/Trial3
and it exhibits the python import failure. Should I go with another branch?

If any activity author wants her/his packaged, and it is in a stable 
state let me know.
