[Sugar-devel] What should we call it? Addons of Activities

+1 for activities from me, as well.

"Addons" makes it sound like a plugin system, which activities are
not.  Activities are distinct self contained bundles for a variety of
purposes, and I think embracing the term "activities" will make it
much easier for anyone even somewhat new to Sugar to make sense of
things.
