Working with dsd and bert I changed Activities
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 to transclude
Activities/Record_(8.2) instead of Activities/Record-G1G1.  That allowed
them to update the latter as dsd says.  They requested I also made the
change for several other activities that have forked from 8.2: Browse,
Chat, Etoys, Read.

I think the http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Peru page needs the
same fix -- it should not be loading "Browse (latest)".

I don't understand why all activities on the 8.2 page aren't set this
way.  They should not pull in the latest version, they should pull in
the (8.2) version.  But a lot of the (8.2) fragments are out of date,
they don't list the latest version that works on 8.2.0.

Also, I'm not sure what the point of the -G1G1 files are.  Currently,
Activities/G1G1 transcludes Activities/Record-G1G1 , which redirects to
Activities/Record_(latest).  But there is no "G1G1" version of any
activity, there are simply pages for each activity group that pull in
either the version that works in 8.2 or the latest version.  Why mention
"-G1G1"?

Rather than explain it here, it should be somewhere on the wiki,
referred to by http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_updater

I also rewrote the explanation in
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 , statements like "They
are part of the G1G1 activity pack are simply incorrect.
(Is there a new [[G1G1 activity pack]]?)
