+"""Activity implementation code for Sugar-based activities
+
+Each activity within the OLPC environment must provide two
+dbus services. The first, patterned after the
+
+ sugar.activity.activityfactory.ActivityFactory
+
+class is responsible for providing a "create" method which
+takes a small dictionary with values corresponding to a
+
+ sugar.activity.activityhandle.ActivityHandle
+
+describing an individual instance of the activity.
+
+Each activity so registered is described by a
+
+ sugar.activity.bundle.Bundle
+
+instance, which parses a specially formatted activity.info
+file (stored in the activity directory's ./activity
+subdirectory). The
+
+ sugar.activity.bundlebuilder
+
+module provides facilities for the standard setup.py module
+which produces and registers bundles from activity source
+directories.
+
+Once instantiated by the ActivityFactory's create method,
+each activity must provide an introspection API patterned
+after the
+
+ sugar.activity.activityservice.ActivityService
+
+class. This class allows for querying the ID of the root
+window, requesting sharing across the network, and basic
+"what type of application are you" queries.
