FWIW, I've duplicated my relevant wiki.laptop.org content over to  
wiki.sugarlabs.org. Then used the below template at the top of my old  
wiki.laptop.org page:

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Activity_migrated_to_sl.o

My Moon wiki code looks something like this:

{{Activity migrated to sl.o | download=http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4034 
  Moon | git=http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/moon Moon | homepage=http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Moon 
  Moon }}

I feel this will allow existing deployments to continue to find the  
documentation if needed, and provides warning and hint of some future  
change over, once such a thing is ready.

FWIW: I try to test all Activities I'm involved with under both 0.82,  
0.84 to make sure they work. There's nothing worse than end of  
life'ing some set of users because they can't upgrade to the latest  
and greatest Sugar release.

FWIW2: I've been considering adding Labyrinth to the wiki.laptop.org  
activities/all page as that's where the vast majority of our main user  
base is still going; though the links would all lead to SL  
infrastructure.

Regards,
--Gary
