[Sugar-devel] Activities added to GithHub

[Tony Anderson]

Every version on ASLO (download.sugarlabs.org) is included as a separate 
commit in increasing order by version number. There was no 'wholesale 
removal of git history'. Since the source is ASLO, everything is still 
available, nothing has been removed.

I really would appreciate guidance on filling out the repository.
