My intent was to document the Labyrinth spin somewhere ~public so we  
at least have some record should others want to go look or even  
provide feedback, this could be either potential users or interested/ 
curious devs.

The wiki.laptop.org text says that you should only add activities to  
the official activity list pages (Activities/All is that space) if  
it's considered "stable" (make up your own mind as to the quality of  
that statement given some listed don't even launch), most activity  
authors seem to usually start with an unlinked page for their activity  
during the unstable phase.

Worth pointing out that there are quite a few such Activities off the  
radar. For the curious the below link should show you all pages where  
at least the author has used Category:Activities:

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Activities

Anyway, this unlinked page aproach was the plan for the Labyrinth  
spin, until it has had some time to mature or die if someone pushes  
for a better solution. I'll just go ahead and build a w.l.o/go/ 
Labyrinth page as it doesn't sound like SL is quite ready for Activity  
wiki pages, and it'll be easy to migrate content when that time arrives.
