As someone who has hacked on Albert Cahalan's original XO-1 port of Tuxpaint (see the tuxpaint entry on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/All) I'd be glad to help with further sugarizing tuxpaint. What I did was to adapt it to the rainbow requirements for the XO-1 (store data in the right directories, etc.) and proper startup from the ring. No integration with the journal or implementation of sharing. Note that a full installation of tuxpaint is very big, due to all the examples and translations. Probably too big for a 1G stick SoaS. Aleksey, what are your ideas about integration with the journal? Provide a python glue layer? Or implement it directly in C? Anyway, let me know what I can do.
