Please be more specific on what part of the activity type you don't understand. I thought of it similarly to port numbers, some of which are well known and some are not. Different web servers may be used on port 80, but they all use the HTTP protocol. I understand that you may not agree with the port numbering system altogether and I don't really insist on activity types either. Just an idea. > Why does the name field have to be some fixed size?

I still think there should be a proper design, potentially from scratch, of the activity sharing mechanism, as I am not satisfied neither with cerebro's implementation, nor with telepathy's.
