Description & Goals

Summary

The Journal activity provides an intuitive interface for viewing projects and files saved by the XO user. See the Human Interface Guidelines for theoretical discussion.

The Journal is also a key component of the Bitfrost security specification. The document Journal and Overlays discusses one possible implementation strategy for the Journal and auto-population while using (particularly legacy) activities.

Functional Test

Basic

• The Journal comes up running when the XO is powered on.
• The basic functional test is to create an Abiword document and Paint file, exit, then ensure that they show up in the journal.
• From the journal interface you should be able to resume these activities right where you left off.

Secondary

• Journals are properly archived and can be restored from the school server.
• Sharing?
