So I suggest this:
- We offer for every kind of resource the option "disconnect from 
current activity" and "delete" with an alert saying something like "this 
will delete this file permanently, also in other activities its 
connected to. do you want this?"

- The current label "acitivities" should be renamend to "add to other 
activities" and then the list as usual; we could also go for "connect to 
other activities", as it is the same action as connecting content via 
SLC (that is called "connect to activity"). Currently the very same 
action, only manual, is called "add resource". Shouldnt they all be 
called "connect" and "disconnect"? So we need the same connect-Icon in 
SLC AND on the activity screen, no? Aaron, does "connect" in SLC has 
other features in future as the current connect?

- We can keep the current layout of the context menu, though I like 
Aarons idea of some pie-menu. I thought about it several times already, 
also for our activity switcher that offers this great half-pie-space 
directly on the edge, that cries for some pie menu for adding new 
resources for example ... I will make up my mind and do some scribbles 
here, I guess :) Buts thats all only ideas for the future...nothing for PA2.

- The deleting resource concept needs also more definition, as we have 
to make sure, that neither the deleted file is  connected and shown on 
any other activity nor appears in the add-resource-dialog. Topic for 
roadmap?
