Activities will exist in the form of bundles.  These bundles will manifest as groups of related files&mdash;source code, images, documentation, etc&mdash;that compose a given activity.  As self-contained modules, the distribution and installation of an activity distills to a simple transfer of the activity bundle to a laptop. Properties stored within a bundle provide information about its version and its creator(s).

Though not yet supported, the .info file for an activity will require a list of associated tags.  These tags provide additional information about the context of a specific activity, enabling powerful searching on the Mesh for generalizations or categories of activities.  For instance, searching for "game" should return the "Memory," "Chess," and "Tic-Tac-Toe" activities.  Likewise, searching for "drawing" should return any activities that relate to drawing, painting, sketching, etc.
