Hi,

we an informal discussion we agreed on calling the activities that are
"coded in a browser-supported programming language (such as JavaScript,
combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) and reliant on a
common web browser to render the application executable [1]": Web
activities.

This is in line with the term used for web applications.

The following repositories have been deprecated and are only available in
Daniel's user space:

sugar-html-test
sugar-html-template
sugar-html-activity
sugar-html-bus
sugar-html-datastore

The latter three have been merged into: sugar-web

sugar-html-test is now called sugar-web-test and sugar-html-template has
been renamed to sugar-web-template.

The repositories sugar-build and sugar-toolkit-gtk3 have been changed
accordingly. Same as the documentation at [2].

If you update your sugar-build, the directories *html* won't be deleted
automatically, you will have to delete them by hand, sorry for the
inconvenience.

Writing a web activity has never been that easy, please follow the
instructions at [3]. In order for us to shape the web activity API in this
development cycle we encourage activity authors to start writing web
activities now. The API will still see changes, the environment will see
changes and yes there will be bumps here and there but you will benefit from
this 'at the edge' experience and help us to get to a great result we all
will enjoy in the end. Thanks in advance for your participation.

Regards,
    Simon
