Folks, I've longed, for quite some time, for an encoding of Sugar's journal entries that is more amenable to manipulation with standard Linux tools and APIs. I've also longed for a format that is friendly to rainbow and which can encode both the data necessary for today's journal as well as the data necessary for Eben's Journal redesign mockups.
A few days ago, I wrote a little bit about what I think such a format might look like over here: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-June/024908.html Unfortunately, this note didn't generate much of a response -- thus, to whet your appetite further, here's a (rough!) exporter from today's DS into the format sketched in that note, available both in the the patch following this note and in my combined sugar git repo [1] in the "xos" branch. Already, I find it helpful both for browsing my DS with filesystem tools and for resuming activities from the Terminal. What cool things can you think of to do with it?
