It has already happened: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-June/024589.html Now what I do not get is why everybody insist on having a central data store like it would be the only option to implement Journal? My solution would be just having per activity data store, activity launcher just launches the activity which shows the available data objects in an activity specific way. The activity launcher can then store the launched activity in a journal or the activity can update the journal on "save as..." or "new..." but those would be just links. Also the journal could do full text search if the activity implements the supporting text crawler. Now with HTML5 the journal would be links, on Android see the linked message for information. So why is the current central data store better that this proposal? Why does everybody chase a general versioned data store implementation (which is impossible to create in my humble opinion)? What is a Portfolio? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
