"Spin" isn't a word that means much to new users. The idea is to lead
them into it and provide them a good introduction for them to explore
more if they are inclined to do so.
"Activities" doesn't mean much to me either. Besides, the first
thing
one reads after getting to the "Activities" tab is: "Fedora spins are
alternate versions of Fedora, tailored for various types of users via
hand-picked application sets and other customizations."
So, if the tab is "Spins" and you don't know what "spin" is, it
is
defined for you as soon as you get there.
I see no need to create a different term to mean the same thing under
the guise of leading you to something. Since "activity" as no
definition (like spin does) IMHO I feel it leads to confusion.
