I've uploaded some current Joyride screen grabs and min notes on the  
new Home ring/freeform/list view. Just a start, and I am no authority  
on what will be shipping in 8.2 other than what I see in Joyride (I  
realise the 8.2 stream was split off a ~week ago with an eye on only  
pulling in happy/shiny changes).

I was about to upload a screen shot of the brand new 'erase' activity  
feature (so kids can free up space taken by unused activities), anyone  
confirm if the intention is still to ship this in 8.2?
