Description
It is reported in Uruguay that users want to delete journal entries to save space but they go to the activities list view and start deleting activities instead of journal entries. More specifically:
1) the list view is very similar to the journal view
2) the default journal entry name is the same as the activity name
3) the warning dialog (when deleting activities) is confusing, it should give a 'yes/no' option instead of 'save/delete'.
There have been reports of whole classrooms in which the laptops don't have any activity, not even Browse which makes reloading them more difficult. They believe it is a bug of Sugar's new version which adds to the confusion.

Some of these issues where solved, by example, now is possible protect activities, and that can't be deleted.
We have now a "summary" field in the activity.info file, but is not displayed in any place. Would be good add it to the activities list view.

Maybe we could replace the whole activity list with an icon view.
Though the list view doesn't waste too much space on an XO it looks really bad on a bigger thing.
Having the big activity icons in a grid would (look nicer and) look very different.

Here is a design idea...
Maybe I should mail it to sugar-devel......

Its been quite a while now, any updates? I feel this looks pretty good, we could also maybe add a small summary here if needed (for each activity).

I like Sam design
I think you mean something like this erilyth: http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/images/Summary_in_listview.png

I don't like Sam's design.
I agree to remove last column; age since bundle install. It has very little use.
I like summary added, but there are activities without summary.
On displays with 16:8 aspect ratio, two or three columns could be displayed instead of one.
The favourite icons (one for each home view) might be neutral colour instead of user colour.
Still, it should be discussed in sugar-devel@ mailing list with DESIGN tag.
One of many Journal enhancements that hopefully will land in 0.90
